Abstract:
OD data is a type of data that provides origin and destination positions,and sparsely describes the movement trajectory of objects.Being the research hotspots in data visualization and geospatial analysis,visual analysis of OD data contributes to discovering group movement patterns,exploring spatial anomalies and hidden relationships,and in-depth analysis of various statistics attributes.It is started from the pair-point structure of OD data in geospatial space,and classical OD data visualization methods and principles are elaborated,such as OD matrix,OD map,OD flow,etc.Then from the perspective of spatial-temporal feature exploration,spatial and spatial-temporal joint dimensions,the visual analysis of OD data is performed,while its application scenarios and enhanced significance of feature expression,perception,extraction and presen-tation are researched.To solve the problem of visual clutter in large-scale OD data visualization,the visual simplification methods such as filtering,aggregation,and sampling are sorted out in the research methods of visual analysis of OD data.Finally,the applications and specific cases of OD data visual analysis technology are investigated in different domains,the challenging problems in the research of OD data visual analysis are summarized,and the trend of its future development is prospected.
