主讲内容：
Understanding the complex nature of activities in modern metropolitan regions are difficult due to the vast amount of data required for processing and analysis. Visualization provides essential accesses for users to comprehend such big data and gain insights, which is crucial for decision makers, political figures, as well as the general public. This talk will discuss visualization cases covering various types of urban data, including vehicle GPS and RFID records, subway IC card logs, mobile phone signals and social media data. We will demonstrate how different data sets can be integrated for advanced visual analysis. With the assistant of properly designed visualization and interaction, both general public and experts can interactively conduct the data exploration, mental image construction, and insight discovery.
