See what you know: analyzing data distribution to improve density map visualization

Published: 23 May 2007 Publication History

Abstract

Density maps allow for visually rendering density differences, usually mapping density values to a grey or color scale. The paper analyzes the drawbacks arising from the commonly used strategies and introduces a novel technique able to improve the overall mapping process. The technique is driven by statistical knowledge about the density distribution and a set of quality metrics allows for validating, in an objective way, its effectiveness.
