Such techniques include heat maps and gaze stripes. To overcome the disadvantages and improve the effectiveness of those techniques, we present a viable solution that makes use of existing techniques such as heat maps and gaze stripes, as well as attention clouds which are inspired by the general concept of word clouds. We also develop a web application with interactive attention clouds, named the EyeCloud, to put theory into practice. The main objective of this paper is to help public transport map designers and producers gain feedback and insights on how the current design of the map can be further improved, by leveraging on the visualization tool. In addition, this visualization tool, the EyeCloud, can be easily extended to many other purposes with various types of data. It could be possibly applied to entertainment industries, for instance, to track the attention of the film audiences in order to improve the advertisements.","PeriodicalId":197051,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 12th International Symposium on Visual Information Communication and Interaction","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123173734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, based on the extracted skeletons of a non-rigid shape and geodesic distance computation, the center point in skeleton is defined and detected. Then, a skeleton tree is constructed based on the connection between the center point and other discrete points in skeleton. After that, a correspondence between the skeleton tree and the area distribution of the non-rigid shape is established. The skeleton tree features are achieved. The advantages of our method can be summarized as follows: (1) Scale-Invariant; (2) Low computational complexity; (3) Automatic topology repair. The experimental results show that our method is more accurate than existing methods.","PeriodicalId":197051,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 12th International Symposium on Visual Information Communication and Interaction","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123718971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method is to find out the artistic elements of the intangible cultural heritage of Chinese minorities and its value in brand-localization. Then, focusing on brand-localization and based on a product designed for young man's fashion by Echolac, a brand of luggage, countermeasures will be given. The conclusions are following: With the popularity of \"national tide\", the artistic elements of intangible cultural heritage of minorities can provide a lot of inspiration for the localization and design of brands. The use of these elements is not only a strategy for brand-localization, but also innovation and dissemination of Chinese intangible cultural heritage.","PeriodicalId":197051,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 12th International Symposium on Visual Information Communication and Interaction","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124107642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, designing a visualization course, matching the different experiences and skills of the students is one major goal in order to find a common solvable task for all of the students. However, the given task is important to follow a common goal, to collaborate in small project groups, but also to further experience, learn, or extend programming skills. In this paper we describe an approach to manage a large number of 272 students in a design-based active learning course who were relatively unexperienced first year bachelor students with a wide range of programming skills. We explain different subsequent stages to successfully handle the upcoming problems and describe how many and to which extent supervisors are involved in the development of the project. The project task description is given in a way that it has a minimal number of requirements but can be extended in many directions while most of the decisions are up to the students like programming languages, visualization approaches, or interaction techniques. Finally, we discuss the benefits and drawbacks of our teaching strategy.","PeriodicalId":197051,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 12th International Symposium on Visual Information Communication and Interaction","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123426925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are three problems in its application of the traffic state discrimination: First, the existing traffic state discrimination model is only for road segment detection; Second, the road-segment based discrimination model is not conducive to the spatial-temporal evolution analysis of traffic state. Third, the existing road segment traffic state discrimination model directly adopts the prototypical Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) algorithm, and the detection result is limited in accuracy. We proposed a multi-dimensional traffic state discrimination method. Firstly, the traffic state of the road segment is determined based on the improved DBSCAN algorithm. The dynamic segmentation technology is used to realize the visualization of the road traffic state. Then, the traffic incident point discrimination model is constructed according to the spatial-temporal evolution pattern of the road conditions under traffic incidents. The visualization results show that the proposed method can achieve relatively fine multidimensional traffic state discrimination.","PeriodicalId":197051,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 12th International Symposium on Visual Information Communication and Interaction","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127107710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analysis of the collected data supports research on animal behaviour, influence of impact factors such as climate change and human intervention, as well as conservation programs. Analysis of the movement data is difficult, due to the nature of the research questions and the complexity of the data sets. It requires both automated analysis, e.g. for the detection of behavioural patterns, and human inspection, e.g. for interpretation, inclusion of previous knowledge, and for conclusions on future actions and decision making. We present a concept and implementation for the visual analysis of cheetah movement data in a web-based fashion that allows usage both in the field and in office environments.","PeriodicalId":197051,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 12th International Symposium on Visual Information Communication and Interaction","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127538929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
