Fencing is a sport that relies heavily on the use of tactics. However, most existing methods for analyzing fencing data are based on statistical models in which hidden patterns are difficult to discover. Unlike sequential games, such as tennis and table tennis, fencing is a type of simultaneous game. Thus, the existing methods on the sports visualization do not operate well for fencing matches. In this study, we cooperated with experts to analyze the technical and tactical characteristics of fencing competitions. To meet the requirements of the fencing experts, we designed and implemented FencingVis, an interactive visualization system for fencing competition data.The action sequences in the bout are first visualized by modified bar charts to reveal the actions of footworks and bladeworks of both fencers. Then an interactive technique is provided for exploring the patterns of behavior of fencers. The different combinations of tactical behavior patterns are further mapped to the graph model and visualized by a tactical flow graph. This graph can reveal the different strategies adopted by both fencers and their mutual influence in one bout. We also provided a number of well-coordinated views to supplement the tactical flow graph and display the information of the fencing competition from different perspectives. The well-coordinated views are meant to organically integrate with the tactical flow graph through consistent visual style and view coordination. We demonstrated the usability and effectiveness of the proposed system with three case studies. On the basis of expert feedback, FencingVis can help analysts find not only the tactical patterns hidden in fencing bouts, but also the technical and tactical characteristics of the contestant.
Knowledge of human perception has long been incorporated into visualizations to enhance their quality and effectiveness. The last decade, in particular, has shown an increase in perception-based visualization research studies. With all of this recent
Visualization guidelines, if defined properly, are invaluable to both practical applications and the theoretical foundation of visualization. In this paper, we present a collection of research activities for studying visualization guidelines accordin
Visualizations themselves have become a data format. Akin to other data formats such as text and images, visualizations are increasingly created, stored, shared, and (re-)used with artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. In this survey, we probe the
The process of revitalizing cities in the United States suffers from balky and unresponsive processes---de jure egalitarian but de facto controlled and mediated by city officials and powerful interests, not residents. We argue that, instead, our goal
We present a system that allows users to visualize complex human motion via 3D motion sculptures---a representation that conveys the 3D structure swept by a human body as it moves through space. Given an input video, our system computes the motion sc
