Gráficas dinámicas interactivas para estadística (26 años después)
2014
This paper briefly reviews the history of dynamic-interactive graphics for statistics, introduces an example of such graphics, and provides a few glimpses as to the current state of things and the future trends we envision. The general conclusion is that dynamic-interactive graphics for statistics are thriving more than ever as they shift from the desktop to the internet. Thus, dynamic-interactive graphics are becoming increasingly important as they: 1) provide non-experts in statistics with the means to carry out analyses on their own; and 2) teach the basic concepts of statistics to students and practitioners with low to moderate mathematics skills. Their increasing popularity makes the l…

The History of ViSta: The Visual Statistics System
2012
ViSta is a project that focuses on dynamic and interactive graphics for statistics and was initiated by the late Forrest W. Young at the beginning of the 1990s. For over approximately 20 years, Forrest and other collaborators, including the authors of this article, have used ViSta for experimenting with these kinds of graphics in different settings, applying them to different scenarios of data and statistical analysis, searching to develop the right combination of features most appropriate in each case. In this time, ViSta evolved quite considerably, going through what we reckon were three different stages, namely: the initial one setting forth the foundations of ViSta; the second period wh…
Visualizing categorical data in ViSta
2003
The modules in the statistical package ViSta related to categorical data analysis are presented These modules are: visualization of frequency data with mosaic and bar plots, correspondence analysis, multiple correspondence analysis and loglinear analysis. All these methods are implemented in ViSta with a big emphasis on plots and graphical representations of data, as well as interactivity for the user with the system. These provide a system that has shown to be easy, useful, and powerful, both for novice and experienced users.
MULTIRESOLUTION ANALYSIS FOR IRREGULAR MESHES WITH APPEARANCE ATTRIBUTES
2004
We present a new multiresolution analysis framework based on the lifting scheme for irregular meshes with attributes. We introduce a surface prediction opera- tor to compute the detail coefficients for the geometry and the attributes of the model. Attribute analysis gives appearance information to complete the geomet- rical analysis of the model.We present an application to adaptive visualization and some experimental results to show the efficiency of our framework.
Visual data mining with self-organising maps for ventricular fibrillation analysis
2012
Detection of ventricular fibrillation (VF) at an early stage is being deeply studied in order to lower the risk of sudden death and allows the specialist to have greater reaction time to give the patient a good recovering therapy. Some works are focusing on detecting VF based on numerical analysis of time-frequency distributions, but in general the methods used do not provide insight into the problem. However, this study proposes a new methodology in order to obtain information about this problem. This work uses a supervised self-organising map (SOM) to obtain visually information among four important groups of patients: VF (ventricular fibrillation), VT (ventricular tachycardia), HP (healt…
Correction of B-scan distortion for optimum ultrasonic imaging of backwalls with complex geometries
2020
Ultrasound undergoes refraction and reflection at interfaces between media of different acoustic refractive indices. The most common ultrasonic method (pulse-echo) monitors the reflected energy to infer the presence of flaws, whereas the lower amplitude of refracted signals is ignored. When the reflector is orientated normally with respect to the ultrasonic beam, the received echo signal shows the maximum amplitude. The pulse-echo method also relies on monitoring the amplitude of the backwall echo to identify or confirm the presence of defects. This works well for parts with constant thickness and with planar backwalls. Unfortunately, parts with complex backwalls are common to many industri…
Video Visualization of Predictors of Emotions Dynamically Expressed by Music
2013
Music is particularly appreciated for its capacity of evoking a large range of emotions. A growing area of research in music psychology and computer music endeavors to understand and model the role of the different constituents of music in its overall emotional impact. Whereas research so far has mainly focused on global musical and emotional descriptions, our project investigates more in detail the relationship between the dynamic evolution of musical content and the dynamic development of the resulting emotional reaction. We introduce a new method for predicting the dynamic appreciation of emotion based on audio and musical descriptions. We focus on one particular emotion: power. We propo…
Visiting the King of the World
2009
Apsilankymas pas Pasaulio karalių – tai tema, kuri bent paviršutiniškai supažindina su egzistuojančiais daugiau ar mažiau ezoteriniais pasakojimais, kartais net gana fantastiškais, kuriuose kalbama apie viršžmogiškosiomis galiomis apdovanotas būtybes, gyvenančias, atrodo, žemės gelmėse, Azijos žemių platybėse, Himalajų regione, Mongolijoje ar Tibete. „Pasaulio karalius“ – pavadinimas 1927 m. parašyto veikalo, kurio autorius René Guénonas – prancūzų ezoterikas ir mistikas, gimęs 1886 m. Blois, miręs 1951 m. Kaire. Iš literatūros kūrinių – ir kelionių aprašymų, ir fantastinių romanų – be Jules‘io „Kelionės į žemės centrą“ galima paminėti Ferdinando Ossendowskio knygą „Gyvuliai, žmonės ir diev…
Palermo: Virtual urban reconfiguration of some ancient squares and quarters
2013
The representation area is nowaday called upon to face new challenges for new computer technologies that have developed over the last few years. Visual communication and multimedia language experienced a radical change: representation and visualization, thought and image are based on the branch of communication and therefore on the trasmission of knowledge that cannot be separated from the interdisciplinarity. Digital imagery challenges more and more analog imagery, creating a scene that is independent from the constructed reality and sometimes reaching to overlap and merge with it: therefore the representation is no longer just a repetition of the real, but becomes itself an autonomous rea…
