Vast2015 Challenge Two: Event Analysis From Communication Data, Mahesh Babu Gorantla, William Hatton, Jieqiong Zhao, Abish Malik, David S. Ebert

The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Symposium

Social Media is a very good example of a large communication network. Typically, most data generated by social media are embedded with spatiotemporal stamps which hold crucial information than can help law enforcement agencies analyze the intensity of a calamity or chaos. Currently, not much research is done in designing a visual analytics system that incorporates clustering methods to analyze communication patterns. This research seeks to develop an analysis tool that represents such diverse data sets in user-friendly visual forms, to provide insights into the data that will improve the efficiency of event analysis. To analyze this data we have …

The VALET (Visual Analytics Law Enforcement Toolkit) system allows the user to visualize and predict crime hotspots and analyze crime data. Police officers have difficulty in using VALET in a mobile situation, since the system allows only conventional input interfaces (keyboard and mouse). This research focuses on introducing a new input interface to VALET in the form of speech recognition, which allows the user to interact with the software without losing functionality. First an Application Program Interface (API) that was compatible with the VALET system was found and initial code scripts to test its functionality were written. Next, the code …


Visual Feedback On The Effects Of Temperature, Moisture, Relative Humidity, Solar Radiation, Wind And Precipitation On Growth And Production Of Grapes., Justus Karenzi, Calvin Yau, Sunghan Ko, David Ebert Aug 2014

Visual Feedback On The Effects Of Temperature, Moisture, Relative Humidity, Solar Radiation, Wind And Precipitation On Growth And Production Of Grapes., Justus Karenzi, Calvin Yau, Sunghan Ko, David Ebert

The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Symposium

Weather conditions such as Temperature, Relative Humidity, Solar Radiation, and wind have reportedly been the primary cause to the significant difference in the growth of grape vines across the world. Past research findings have clearly studied the underlying effects of these weather parameters on the growth of grapes, but minimum work has been done on how to accurately turn this data into useful information. This paper aims at providing an overview on how to manage, analyze, and finally visualize the weather data in a way that is convenient to the farmers and can therefore help in the growth of grapes. …
