Thematic Uncertainty Visualization Usability ? Basic Methods Comparison

Original language description

Uncertainty of geographic data and visualization can be viewed from different angles. While conceptual and theoretical base is quite wide, visualization tools and pilot projects are rarer, and there exist only few studies dealing with the user?s `abilityto cope with uncertainty visualization efficiency. The paper introduces two widely used uncertainty visualization methods ? the maps compared and maps combined ? and focuses on the usability issues of these methods. A combination of regular kriging interpolation method and interpolation uncertainty values is used for maps compared while whitening approach is applied for maps combined. During the study we electronically interviewed and tested more than 100 participants with backgrounds in geography or computer science. Both above mentioned methods were tested on three different levels. On the first level the intuitiveness of whitening method is questioned.
