Quite a few examples in the cartographic and information visualisation literature suggest that
multi-component animated maps may be appropriate for examining complex spatio …

Abstract Urban Digital Twins (UDTs) have emerged as essential tools for managing city
operations, forming the basis of smart city solutions. They offer a digital representation of the …

Abstract 3D visualization is being widely used in GIS (geographic information system) and
CAD (computer-aided design) applications. It has also been introduced in cadastre studies …

Although many different types of data mining tools have been developed for geographic
analysis, the broader perspective of geographic knowledge discovery—the stages required …

The human–cyber–physical world produces a considerable volume of multi-modal spatio-
temporal data, thus leading to information overload. Visual variables are used to transform …

Visual variables are important factors for visualization in 2D maps, and the study of non-
photorealistic visualization of 3D city models in virtual environments using visual variables is …

This study investigates the preference and the performance of certain visual variables (color
hue and saturation, value, texture) and visual enhancement techniques (adding labels …

The construction of smart city is inseparable from the application of data visualization
technology, especially the integration of complex urban data into a reasonable expression …

As a theoretical basis for the design of plane graphic symbols, visual variables play a very
important role in the symbolization of plane maps. However, the visual variables in plane …

In this paper, we propose a new approach to the presentation of the spatio-temporal
evolution of landscape using a multi-component multi-scenario animated map system. The …
