Visually Effective Information Visualization of Large Data

Recent technology developments produce an increasingly large volume of information. Therefore visualization of these data requires sophisticated and efficient methods that take the amount of data into account. The information often gets lost or hidden in displays of traditional information visualization techniques. A significant improvement can be achieved using clustering and visual abstraction. The synergetic approach introduced here combines visual and computer data mining. Its effect is demonstrated on a popular information visualization method – the parallel coordinates.
