A user-centric optimization of emergency map symbols to facilitate common operational picture / Tomasz Opach in Cartography and Geographic Information Science, vol 49 n° 2 (February 2022)

Sharing is typically achieved through interactive tools, either desktop or web-based, in which map displays play an essential role. That role can be further strengthened if (1) agreed emergency symbols that are used in map-based interactive tools are sufficient to encode multifaceted operational information visually; and (2) the symbols are legible and meaningful for the diverse users of those tools. The authors revisited official emergency map symbols in use in Norway and reconsidered them against current requirements. To this end, they first conducted several meetings with stakeholders to elicit adequate revision requirements. Next, the reconsideration included the extension of the symbol set, symbol modification, and grouping. After the reconsideration, emergency management officers and specialists were interviewed. The interviews confirmed the agreement with the symbol categorization, extension of the symbols, and their modifications. The interviewees also made numerous suggestions to be considered in a follow-up study. Moreover, two concepts – symbol standardization and symbol harmonization – were proposed.

Breaking the eyes: how do users get started with a coordinated and multiple view geovisualization tool? / Izabela Golebiowska in Cartographic journal (the), Vol 57 n° 3 (August 2020)

Although CMV are valuable geovisualization tools, novice users may find them complex and thus require explanation. However, no tutorial guidelines have been developed that indicate what is helpful in understanding CMV geovisualization tools. We therefore conducted a study on the learnability of a CMV tool, informed with eye-tracking data, talk-aloud and interaction logs. We have investigated how untrained users work with a CMV geovisualization tool. The study revealed that: (1) despite their initial confusion, users found the tested tool pleasant to play with while getting to grips with how dynamic brushing works, (2) when examining the tool’s interface, participants mainly looked freely at explanatory elements, such as labels and the legend, but they explored interactive techniques only to a limited degree. We conclude with tips about tutorial design and layout design for CMV tools.

Visual clutter reduction in zoomable proportional point symbol maps / Tomasz Opach in Cartography and Geographic Information Science, Vol 46 n° 4 (July 2019)  

Public [article]  inCartography and Geographic Information Science > Vol 46 n° 4 (July 2019) . - pp. 347 - 367 Titre : Visual clutter reduction in zoomable proportional point symbol maps Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Tomasz Opach, Auteur ; Jolanta Korycka-Skorupa, Auteur ; Izabela Karsznia, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : pp. 347 - 367 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Cartographie numérique [Termes IGN] approche holistique [Termes IGN] carte cognitive [Termes IGN] étude empirique [Termes IGN] figuré ponctuel [Termes IGN] fouillis d'échos [Termes IGN] modèle analytique [Termes IGN] précision cartographique [Termes IGN] test statistique Résumé : (auteur) Proportional point symbols are commonly used in map displays. However, when such displays are zoomed out, the available map space shrinks and consequently symbols overlap and the display suffers from visual clutter. Therefore, solutions are needed to reduce visual clutter in zoomable map displays that contain proportional point symbols. The authors add to the body of knowledge through the investigation of the performance of three solutions: aggregation of unit areas, the displacement of overlapping symbols, and modified symbolization; four variations of modified symbolization are examined in detail. The original study begins with a consideration of the strengths and weaknesses of the solutions, with an emphasis on information loss. Thereafter, user sessions with 165 participants are arranged to gain empirical evidence of the performance of the solutions. The results reveal that although participants zoom out the map to zoom levels that implement visual clutter reduction techniques, they tend to zoom in the map and pan it to examine specific areas. Moreover, they willingly use the map with aggregated unit areas in cases when the solution facilitates task accomplishment. A certain amount of skepticism attaches to the solution that displaces overlapping symbols.

Star and polyline glyphs in a grid plot and on a map display: which perform better? / Tomasz Opach in Cartography and Geographic Information Science, Vol 45 n° 5 (August 2018)  

Public [article]  inCartography and Geographic Information Science > Vol 45 n° 5 (August 2018) . - pp 400 - 419 Titre : Star and polyline glyphs in a grid plot and on a map display: which perform better? Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Tomasz Opach, Auteur ; Stanislav Popelka, Auteur ; Jitka Dolezalova, Auteur ; Jan Ketil Rød, Auteur Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : pp 400 - 419 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Rédaction cartographique [Termes IGN] oculométrie [Termes IGN] symbole graphique [Termes IGN] utilisateur [Termes IGN] variable visuelle Résumé : (Auteur) Glyphs are small geometric shapes that in geovisualization are often used to represent multidimensional spatial data. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of their two types – star and polyline glyphs, as they can encode the same message and can provide similar functionality. Thus, if the two glyph types are similar and can be used for the same data, the question arises as to which of them better facilitates various user tasks. To address this question, an empirical study of 26 individual users is conducted to investigate differences in user performance for polyline and star glyphs shown either in a grid plot or on a map display. In this study, a task-based approach with eye-tracking is applied, as well as a subjective questionnaire and a psychological test of cognitive style. The finding is that polyline glyphs better facilitate tasks when datapoint values in glyphs are to be read, whereas star glyphs are better when a visual search among glyphs is to be done. Moreover, the results reveal that the map display works better than the grid plot. If star glyphs are to be used, the key (legend) needs to be better incorporated into a visual interface.

For your eyes only? Evaluating a coordinated and multiple views tool with a map, a parallel coordinated plot and a table using an eye-tracking approach / Izabela Golebiowska in International journal of geographical information science IJGIS, vol 31 n° 1-2 (January - February 2017)

Evaluating a coordinated and multiple views tool with a map, a parallel coordinated plot and a table using an eye-tracking approach Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Izabela Golebiowska, Auteur ; Tomasz Opach, Auteur ; Jan Ketil Rød, Auteur Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : pp 237 - 252 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] logiciel de visualisation [Termes IGN] oculométrie [Termes IGN] visualisation cartographique [Termes IGN] visualisation de données [Vedettes matières IGN] Géovisualisation Résumé : (auteur) Geographic visualization tools with coordinated and multiple views (CMV) typically provide sets of visualization methods. Such configuration gives users the possibility of investigating data in various visual contexts; however, it can be confusing due to the multiplicity of visual components and interactive functions. We addressed this challenge and conducted an empirical study on how a CMV tool, consisting of a map, a parallel coordinate plot (PCP), and a table, is used to acquire information. We combined a task-based approach with eye-tracking and usability metrics since these methods provide comprehensive insights into users’ behaviour. Our empirical study revealed that the freedom to choose visualization components is appreciated by users. The individuals worked with all the available visualization methods and they often used more than one visualization method when executing tasks. Different views were used in different ways by various individuals, but in a similarly effective way. Even PCP, which is claimed to be problematic, was found to be a handy way of exploring data when accompanied by interactive functions.
