Abstract

Visualization of high density streaming points has become a challenge in information exploration. In this paper, we present a new pipeline for the interactive visualization of large points set. The pipeline is based on the idea that heat-map can overcome the overlapping problem in visualization of high density streaming points. Thus, we firstly define a regular streaming format for large point set which can be updated or changed continually. Based on streaming points, we use kernel density estimation to estimate the point distribution and visualize the density image. Perceptive and interactive features are also considered in our visualization. To our knowledge, our pipeline is the first work that focuses on perceptive visualization of high density streaming points. The main step of our pipeline is accelerated via GPU rendering in order to make scene of real-time interaction in visualization. We demonstrate the visual effectiveness of our pipeline on a geographical dataset of high-density streaming points.
