Study Notes
Course Overview
- Subject: Visualisation (COMP7016)
- Coordinator & Lecturer: Dr. Zhonglin (Jolin) Qu
- Location: Room ER.G.19, Building ER, Parramatta South Campus
- Preferred Contact: [email protected]
- Consultation Hours: Wednesday 10:00-11:00 am
- Tutors: Dr. Zhonglin Qu and Mr. Vishal Patel
Learning Objectives
- Understand the significance of visualisation in the context of big data.
- Explore challenges associated with visualisation techniques.
- Differentiate between information visualisation and scientific visualisation.
- Recognize qualities of good and bad visualisations based on set principles.
Key Modules
- Perception and Cognition: Study of how visual perception influences understanding.
- Human Vision: Mechanisms and limitations of human visual processing.
- Colour Theory: Understanding additive and subtractive colour models.
- Gestalt Laws: Explore principles governing how we perceive patterns and forms.
- Visual Encoding: Techniques for representing data visually for clarity.
Colour Models
- Additive Colour: Used in monitors; based on light combinations (RGB: Red, Green, Blue).
- Subtractive Colour: Used in inks; relies on pigments absorbing light.
Colour Vision Insights
- Colour vision is less critical for discerning object layouts, motions, and shapes.
- It aids in breaking camouflage and conveying material properties.
Using Colour in Visualisation
- Colour Labelling: Limit to 7±2 distinct colours for clarity; more than 10 can be confusing.
- Quantitative Visualisation: Use of concrete values; avoid hue in representation—focus on saturation.
Recommended Colour Maps
- Differences between various colour maps (Rainbow, Greyscale, Blackbody, etc.) highlight issues with perceptual ordering and contrast.
Colour Blindness
- Affects 10% of males, 1% of females; most common form is red-green blindness.
- Caused by lack of certain wavelength receptors.
Brightness and Luminance
- Luminance: Actual amount of light.
- Brightness: Perception of light intensity.
- Lightness: Perceived reflectance of surfaces.
Visual Distinction Techniques
- Preattentive Features: Rapid recognition of features like colour and shape before focused attention.
- Objects can be detected quickly based on hue or shape, but combinations require sequential searches.
Gestalt Principles
- Originated from German psychology; focus on holistic perception.
- Gestalt Laws describe how we perceive patterns as integrated wholes rather than sums of parts.
Practical Applications
- Preattentive processing can help in directing focus within visualisations to convey essential information effectively.
- Special care needed to design visual cues to avoid confusion, particularly in conjunctions of features.
