Evaluating the data visualization for demanding marine operations

Abstract

Complexity and specificity of monitoring sensor data from marine operations brought a majority of challenges of how to evaluate the visualizations of such sensor data. It's urgently needed to develop and implement new evaluation methods to assess the visualization of maritime data. In this paper, we explore both quantitative and qualitative evaluation approaches to define evaluative metrics of our interactive visualization techniques, and present a case study carrying out by domain researches in real setting. This work is an important part to complement the visual analytics for maritime operations.
