摘要
人类现处在信息爆炸的时代。对繁杂的抽象信息之间复杂关系的成功探索与逐渐揭示,促使了信息可视化这一崭新科学领域的出现。它综合了科学可视化、人机交互、数据挖掘、图像技术、图形学、认知科学等诸多学科的理论和方法。科学可视化与信息可视化的区别在于,前者的研究对象主要是具有几何属性的科学数据,而后者则主要应用于没有几何属性的抽象信息,旨在揭示信息之间的关系和信息中隐藏的特征。本文对信息可视化的概念、特点、分类、应用等的研究现状作一综述。
We are living in a time of exploding information. The efforts to explore the complicated relations among complex abstract information give birth to a new field - information visualization, which combines aspects of scientific visualization, human-computer interfaces, data mining, imaging, graphics, and cognition science, etc. Information visualization differs from scientific visualization in that information visualization focuses on abstract information to reveal the relations among information and the features hidden in information, but scientific visualization focuses on geometric scientific data, This article introduces the concept, signification, main problems and technologies, and the state of the art of information visualization.
