Summary

The course will explain to students the issue of visual analytics, which is becoming a highly attractive topic due to the development of large data sets. Students are acquainted with the history, development and current trends in this area. Possibilities of interactive data visualization based on their type using more common and non-traditional and complex approaches are presented. Emphasis is placed on determining the suitability of individual visualization methods and evaluating weaknesses and possible problems. Students are introduced to 2D and 3D space-time visualization methods and their use in geoinformatics.
