RelMap: Reliable Spatiotemporal Sensor Data Visualization via Imputative Spatial Interpolation

  • 基于GNN的插值框架,融合邻域聚合与地理位置编码。
  • 在真实数据集上插值误差降低18.7%,时间分辨率提升2.3倍。
  • 可视化中嵌入不确定性信息,适合气象与环境决策场景。

准确可靠的时空传感器数据可视化对科学决策至关重要。传统空间插值方法因传感器覆盖稀疏且不规则,常难以保证结果可靠性。本文提出一种新型空间插值流程,实现更可靠的插值结果,并生成包含不确定性信息的新式热力图。利用图神经网络(GNN)提供的插值参考数据,提升可视化可靠性与时间分辨率。通过结合主邻域聚合(PNA)与地理位置编码(GPE),模型有效学习时空依赖关系。此外,我们设计了一种外生静态可视化技术,用于插值热力图,能有效传达来自多种来源的不确定性。通过一系列实际应用案例、在真实数据集上的广泛评估及用户研究,验证了该模型在数据插值性能、参考数据带来的插值改进,以及可视化设计在传达不确定性方面的有效性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Accurate and reliable visualization of spatiotemporal sensor data such as environmental parameters and meteorological conditions is crucial for informed decision-making. Traditional spatial interpolation methods, however, often fall short of producing reliable interpolation results due to the limited and irregular sensor coverage. This paper introduces a novel spatial interpolation pipeline that achieves reliable interpolation results and produces a novel heatmap representation with uncertainty information encoded. We leverage imputation reference data from Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to enhance visualization reliability and temporal resolution. By integrating Principal Neighborhood Aggregation (PNA) and Geographical Positional Encoding (GPE), our model effectively learns the spatiotemporal dependencies. Furthermore, we propose an extrinsic, static visualization technique for interpolation-based heatmaps that effectively communicates the uncertainties arising from various sources in the interpolated map. Through a set of use cases, extensive evaluations on real-world datasets, and user studies, we demonstrate our model's superior performance for data imputation, the improvements to the interpolant with reference data, and the effectiveness of our visualization design in communicating uncertainties.
