متن کاملNasa Precipitation Data in Virtual Globes: Moving beyond 2d Representations
A prototype has been developed that enables Google Earth to access the ~13 terabyte precipitation archive of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM). While other organizations distribute TRMM satellite data for display in Google Earth, this prototype is the first application that allows Google Earth to examine single-orbit files at full resolution in 3D. This archive access tool is inten...
متن کاملAsbruView: Capturing Complex, Time-oriented Plans | Beyond Flow-Charts
Flow-charts are one of the standard means of representing actions or algorithms in many domains. However, applying ow-charts in dynamically changing environments, like clinical treatment planning, reveals their limitations. Flow-charts do not include the temporal dimension in their design, do not allow complex paths through many components, and scale very badly. These are only some of the requi...
متن کاملBeyond simple charts: Design of visualizations for big health data
Health data is often big data due to its high volume, low veracity, great variety, and high velocity. Big health data has the potential to improve productivity, eliminate waste, and support a broad range of tasks related to disease surveillance, patient care, research, and population health management. Interactive visualizations have the potential to amplify big data's utilization. Visualizatio...
