Description
Summary:As the world has become increasingly digitalized in recent years, high-dimensional data with geographical location coordinate attributes, mainly referring to latitude and longitude, have been accumulated and spread to many disciplines. It is challenging to analyze such data. The map-in-parallel-coordinates plot (MPCP) is an incorporate visual analysis method that can express, filter, and highlight high-dimensional geographical data to facilitate data exploration and comprehension. In this paper, the MPCP underwent a series of field trial studies to verify its applicability, adaptability, and high efficacy in the real-world. The results of the evaluation were positive, which provides reasonable proof and new insights into the benefits of using MPCP to visually analyze high-dimensional geographical datasets.
