Algorithms : Visualization Cues for each Input Item

The following algorithms are being developed and will be compared for superior results:

Uncertainty Visualization Cues:

Item Cue
2D Image Data

Display as is,

Format: JPEG, GIF, ???

Control:

1) Zoom in/out

2) Select regions of interest

3) Panning (moving left-right, up-down)

4) Choose Level- quantify (city, building, office, room)

Items Discovered: Target Identity -type

  • human-adult, child, man/woman
  • animal- type(dog, cat, horse,....)

Icon/Glyph:

2 types of uncertainty:

1) human adult prob X, child prob Y

2) human prob X, animal prob Y

 

Handle Uncertainty:

1) represent each glyph

transparency

  • opaque-cetain, transparent-uncetain

2) type uncertainty...animal and person

blinking - back and forth between the X number of possibilities...have the time the more probable item be longer. If turn off this feature - lay next to each other

Items Discovered: Target Identity -name, age

Pop-up Text box when click on icon

Handle Uncertainty

Show certainty as a bar

Items Discovered: Target Location

Postion target at found location

Handle Uncertainty

Sphere (2D-circle) surrounding object (fadded at edges)

 

Items Discovered: Target Health

Classification

1) Severity: Range from 0 to 10 (10- critical, 0-okay)

2) Type: Text information (heart condition, bleeding)

Handle Uncertainty

1) Severity:

  • color - red: severe, green: okay (red to light red)




2) Type

  • text box - icons for heart condition, bleeding, (medical icons?)
Items Discovered: Target Proximity to Danger

Classification

1) Reachability

2) Obstacles

3) Danger Level

 

Handle Uncertainty

1) Reachability - ????

2) Obstacles - icons and use same cue as for target identity (transparency, focus)

3) Danger Level:

color - red (danger)...green (okay)

 

 

NOTE IDEA: use same exact visual cue as Health ( fusing info.....take maximum value of 2 uncertainty)...might have a text area where can see what the problem is...health or danger.

Areas Searched & Currently Searching

Classification (do both below)

1) Grid - split image into grids (issue resolution) - predefine

AND

2) Sphere/Circle (center, radius)

AND

3) Click an arbitrary polygon to indicate area searched

Handle Uncertainty

  • Control: Show grid, click on it to see if has been searched
  • Color grid/circle/polygon with light transparent color - blue searched, no color - not searched
    • areas currently searching - should use yellow.
  • Uncertainty: fuzzy edges, fadding edges (fades out to complete transparancy)
Equipment / Material

Classification

1) Identity of Equipment/Material

  • e.g. medical/first aid equipment, hazardous material, power lines, etc.
  • icon -
    • break into sub-classifications and have icon for each. Medical Icon, Hazardous Material, Water, Power

2) Location of Equipment/Material

3) Status of Equipment/Material

Handle Uncertainty (should it be the save as Target Identity above??)

    transparency

    • opaque-cetain, transparent-uncetain
