Moskvichev A.M., Ipatov Yu.A. Visualization of statistics with elements of Geographic Information System technology based on the GeoFlow

Abstract: the task of visualization of information leads to a problem of acceptable and illustrative representation of the research results. Traditional tools for this area are not fully capable of solving the problem of visualization. Thus the visualization of data with geographic binding requires time, resources and in most special stuff training. At the same time GeoFlow instrument allows to quickly and eff ectively visualize data, analyze it and place as layers above the map. The aim of this research is to identify potential features and benefits of the studied software module, as well as the possibility of using it in practice when analyzing multiparameter geospatial data. The authors study modular multiparameter statistic data with geospatial binding as well as modern methods of its visualization. The scientific novelty of this study is in the formulation of the problem and in the solution of the problem of data visualization with geospatial binding that allows to visually display changes, its’ trends and principles. Data visualized with the presented program allows building dynamic scenes that increase the informativeness and the level of understanding giving an advantage over other types of visualization. The described method also allows adding 3D-visualisations over the map (such as animated diagrams) that are lacking in modern GIS such as ArcGis, MapInfo, etc.
