Urban Dynamics: Data and Images
Temporal Urban Mapping - Database Visualization
Visualization techniques are divided into five categories: two
dimensional x-y plots, three dimensional x-y-z plots, two
dimensional planimetric views, three dimensional perspective views,
and animation. The technique chosen depends on the type of data that is
available, the information being conveyed, and whether the
technique depicts the data in a useful way. Since
a variety of data types are collected for temporal urban mapping, all of
these techniques will eventually be used
to illustrate different variables, rates of change, spatial patterns and
interrelationships.
