| Summary: | Efficient and intuitive representation of floods can improve people’s perception, which is useful for flood emergency management and decision making. However, the current methods of visualizing flood disaster scenes have the shortcomings of data redundancy and low-efficiency. The interference of the complex background can be avoided through region of interest (ROI) extraction, because the attention will be quickly attracted by a few salient visual objects. First, the characteristics of the flood disaster scene object are analysed, and the method for scene division and data organization is established. Second, the region of interest is extracted according to the time series data of the flood evolution process simulated using cellular automata, and the dynamic identification model of the objects of interest is established. Then, a dynamic scheduling queue model with service interruption is designed to optimize the rendering efficiency of flood scenes and improve the perception efficiency. Finally, a prototype visualization system was developed and the experimental results show that approximately 30% of the redundant data are reduced, and the scene rendering efficiency is increased by approximately 15%. The non-ROI visualization is weakened by using the rules of human visual cognition, which improves the perception efficiency of flood scenes. |
