Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of visualization and interaction of machine-aided measurement of people counts in different infrastructures.
With a machine-aided measurement of people counts in infrastructures, a great amount of data is generated. Due to this fact the need for a simple and meaningful representation of the data emerges. This work deals with the topic of data exploration, especially with the aspects of visualization and interaction.
The work starts with a definition of machine-aided measurement of people counts and describes how the data is gained. The following chapters cover the core areas of this work — visualization and interaction — by giving an overview on the theoretical backgrounds and different techniques.
The practical part covers the development of a prototypical application. It describes the actual implementation and closes with the description of the usability-tests.
At the end, the results are summed up and a conclusion points out the main results of this work.
