In this paper, landmark visibility analysis, as a means for developing more usable pedestrian navigation systems, is discussed. Using an algorithmic framework for image-based 3D analysis, this method integrates a 3D city model with identified landmarks and produces raster visibility layers for each one. This output enables an Android phone prototype application to indicate the visibility of landmarks from the user's actual position. Tested in the field, the method achieves sufficient accuracy for the context of use and improves navigation efficiency and effectiveness.}, language = {en} } @misc{ScheibelTrappLimbergeretal.2020, author = {Scheibel, Willy and Trapp, Matthias and Limberger, Daniel and D{\"o}llner, J{\"u}rgen Roland Friedrich}, title = {A taxonomy of treemap visualization techniques}, series = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Reihe der Digital Engineering Fakult{\"a}t}, journal = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Reihe der Digital Engineering Fakult{\"a}t}, number = {8}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-52469}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-524693}, pages = {10}, year = {2020}, abstract = {A treemap is a visualization that has been specifically designed to facilitate the exploration of tree-structured data and, more general, hierarchically structured data. The family of visualization techniques that use a visual metaphor for parent-child relationships based "on the property of containment" (Johnson, 1993) is commonly referred to as treemaps. However, as the number of variations of treemaps grows, it becomes increasingly important to distinguish clearly between techniques and their specific characteristics. This paper proposes to discern between Space-filling Treemap TS, Containment Treemap TC, Implicit Edge Representation Tree TIE, and Mapped Tree TMT for classification of hierarchy visualization techniques and highlights their respective properties. This taxonomy is created as a hyponymy, i.e., its classes have an is-a relationship to one another: TS TC TIE TMT. With this proposal, we intend to stimulate a discussion on a more unambiguous classification of treemaps and, furthermore, broaden what is understood by the concept of treemap itself.}, language = {en} }
