Fishery ViewImprovement of Time Series Line Chart Visualization of Fishery Data CPSC 533C Final Presentation Ying Zhang & Lan Wu December 19th 2005
Background: • Ecopath: Line chart system developed by UBC Fishery Department No fish is an island
Motivation: • Too many time series gathered • Curves overlapping and information overload
Data: • Focus: 45 fishes • The diet matrix (45 by 45 mat) • Their population at 648 discrete time points before and after fishing strategy applied (two 45 by 648 mat)
Task and Infovis Solution 1: • Task: Find the related fishes of a specific fish • Solution: Brushing and highlighting
Task and Infovis Solution 2: • Task: Evaluate the effect of human’s fishing • Solution: Difference graph
Task and Infovis Solution 3: • Task: Find the patterns fish populations match • Solution: Clustering
High Level Implementation: • Programming Platform: Visual Studio.Net • Graphics Package: Zedgraph • Clustering Algorithm • Distance Measure: (Root Mean Square)
Unfinished/Future Work: • Repeated Colors • Overlapping reduced but still not eliminated • Code Optimization • More user interaction
Lessons learned: • Understanding users’ preferences • Developing based on an existing framework or using a visualization package
