基于密度的散点图去重叠可视化方法

A Density-based Visualization for Removing Overlaps of Scatterplots

  • 摘要: 散点图是常用的可视化表征, 但是当数据过多时数据重叠会影响分析的准确性. 为此, 提出基于密度的散点图去重叠可视化方法对散点图进行布局优化. 首先确定待优化区域, 利用数据的密度特征与规则网格划分构建新的采样空间; 然后在采样空间内进行基于密度的采样; 通过采样后处理实现数据关联, 完成采样结果与原数据之间的属性映射; 最后通过数据拆分设定密度阈值以保护散点图中的稀疏点, 维持散点图的局部细节. 在9个数据集上的实验结果表明, 所提方法在保证视觉清晰度、保留原数据分布特征的前提下, 有效地解决了散点图数据重叠的问题, 优化了散点图的布局.

     

    Abstract: Scatterplots is a widely used visual analysis method, but when there are excessive points in the scatterplots, data overlap will affect the accuracy of analysis. For this reason, a density-based visualization for removing overlaps of scatterplots is proposed to solve the problem of data overlap. First, determine the area to be optimized. And then use the density-based overlapping removal algorithm. Construct a new sampling space using the density characteristics of the data and regular grid division. Carry out density-based sampling in the sampling space. Then realize data association through post-sampling processing to complete the attribute mapping between the sampling results and the original data. Finally, the density threshold is set through the data splitting step to protect the sparse points in the scatterplots and maintain the local details. The experimental results show that on the premise of ensuring visual clarity and preserving the distribution characteristics of the original data, this method effectively solves the problem of data overlap and optimizes the layout of scatterplots.
