Information Visualization Techniques for Building Better Visualization Models

Book cover Recent Trends in Computer Applications

Abstract

Visualization of data helps to transform a problem into a perceptual task that is easier to comprehend. It helps users to make informed decisions after identifying patterns from large amounts of data. The objects represented in the visualized scene can be manipulated to obtain better visualization quality. When visualization is coupled with interactive techniques, it boosts cognition levels in users, as the users can now directly interact with the data. In this chapter, we present some of the popular representative and interactive visualization techniques that are used for enhancing the quality of 2D and 3D information visualization models and a simple pipeline to couple these two techniques to create better visualization models.
