To diagnose heart disease, visualization experts recommend a simpler approach. A team of computer scientists, physicists, and physicians at Harvard have developed a simple yet powerful method of visualizing human arteries that may result in more accurate diagnoses of atherosclerosis and heart disease.

To diagnose heart disease, visualization experts recommend a simpler approach

The prototype tool, called "HemoVis," creates a 2D diagram of arteries that performs better than the traditional 3D, rainbow-colored model. In a clinical setting, the tool has been shown to increase diagnostic accuracy from 39% to 91%. Presented today at the IEEE Information Visualization Conference (InfoVis 2011), the new visualization method offers insight to clinicians, imaging specialists, engineers, and others in a wide range of fields who need to explore and evaluate complex, branching structures. Dear NASA: No More Rainbow Color Scales, Please. Dear NASA, The visualization community has noticed your insistence on using rainbow color scales for representing continuous data.

Dear NASA: No More Rainbow Color Scales, Please

This is a plea to you (and anyone else doing the same thing) to stop. On the surface, the logic behind using a rainbow color scale makes sense: the more colors there are, the easier you would expect it to be to see detail in a huge range of data. How The Rainbow Color Map Misleads. Colors are perhaps the visual property that people most often misuse in visualization without being aware of it.

How The Rainbow Color Map Misleads

Variations of the rainbow colormap are very popular, and at the same time the most problematic and misleading. The rainbow color map is based on the colors in the light spectrum, and is sometimes done correctly, sometimes the colors are in the wrong order. Vischeck: Home.

Slippy Map. Slippy map Slippy Map is, in general, a term referring to modern web maps which let you zoom and pan around (the map slips around when you drag the mouse).

Slippy Map

Here we often talk about "The Slippy Map" to mean the map display on the openstreetmap.org front page. This is a web interface for browsing rendered OpenStreetMap data. By default the slippy map shows tiles rendered in our "standard" OpenStreetMap style, but you we offer several other featured tiles as layers to select and to link to.

Project EPIC » Tweak the Tweet. Tweak the Tweet Tweak the Tweet is a hashtag-based syntax to help direct Twitter communications for more efficient data extraction for those communicating about disaster events.

Project EPIC » Tweak the Tweet

Use requires modifications of Tweet messages to make information pieces that refer to #location, #status, #needs, #damage and several other elements of emergency communications more machine readable. Leveraging Geospatially-Oriented Social Media Communications in Disaster Response. Abstract Geospatially-oriented social media communications have emerged as a common information resource to support crisis management. The research presented compares the capabilities of two popular systems used to collect and visualize such information - Project Epic’s Tweak the Tweet (TtT) and Ushahidi. The research uses geospatially-oriented social media gathered by both projects during recent disasters to compare and contrast the frequency, content, and location components of contributed information to both systems. The authors compare how data was gathered and filtered, how spatial information was extracted and mapped, and the mechanisms by which the resulting synthesized information was shared with response and recovery organizations.

In addition, the authors categorize the degree to which each platform in each disaster led to actions by first responders and emergency managers. Article Preview.

Classics - John Snow: The London Cholera Epidemic of 1854.

It wasn't until 1854 that Cholera struck England once again, that Snow was able to legitimate his argument that Cholera was spread through contaminated food or water. Snow, in investigating the epidemic, began plotting the location of deaths related to Cholera (see illustration). Lesson 5: Interpolation - From Simple to Advanced. Printer-friendly version Introduction In this lesson, we will examine one of the most important methods in all of spatial analysis. Frequently data are only available at a sample of locations when the underlying phenomenon is, in fact, continuous and, at least in principle, measurable at all locations.

The problem, then, is to develop reliable methods for 'filling in the blanks.' The most familiar examples of this problem are meterological, where weather station data are available, but we want to map the likely rainfall, snowfall, air temperature, and atmostpheric pressure conditions across the whole study region.
