Learning objectives
The course aims to provide tools for the effective visualization of heterogeneous data. A conceptual model of visualization application will be presented, and the main problems and techniques of information and scientific visualization applied to different types of data will be introduced. The course will address the perceptual and technical problems related to data modeling and organization and graphic rendering. Examples and guidelines for effective visualization design in different contexts will be provided. At the end of the course the student will have to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the basic principles and main problems of visualizing abstract and concrete data. He must be able to design scientific and information visualization applications. This knowledge will provide the student with the ability to: i) independently evaluate algorithms and visualization software knowing how to choose the correct framework for each different task; ii) to apply visualization techniques in different industrial scenarios. At the end of the course the student will have to show that he is able to design, evaluate and use visualization tools for data analysis research and communication.
