For most of these techniques user interaction has become a crucial element, since there are many situations in which users or analysts have to select the right parameter settings from among many in order to construct insightful visualizations. The right choice of input parameters is essential, since suboptimal parameter settings or the investigation of irrelevant data dimensions make the exploration process more time consuming and may result in wrong conclusions. But finding the right parameters is often a tedious process and it becomes almost impossible for an analyst to find an optimal parameter setting manually because of the volume and complexity of today's data sets. Therefore, we propose a novel approach for automatically determining meaningful parameter- and attribute settings based on the combined analysis of the data space and the resulting visualizations with respect to a given task. Our technique automatically analyzes pixel images resulting from visualizations created from diverse parameter mappings and ranks them according to the potential value for the user. This allows a more effective and more efficient visual data analysis process, since the attribute\/parameter space is reduced to meaningful selections and thus the analyst obtains faster insight into the data. Real-world applications are provided to show the benefit of the proposed approach. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1057\/palgrave.ivs.9500150","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,16]],"date-time":"2007-04-16T10:03:18Z","timestamp":1176717798000},"page":"75-88","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["An Automated Approach for the Optimization of Pixel-Based Visualizations"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"J\u00f6rn","family":"Schneidewind","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Konstanz, Konstanz, Germany"}]},{"given":"Mike","family":"Sips","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA, U.S.A."}]},{"given":"Daniel A.","family":"Keim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Konstanz, Konstanz, Germany"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,1]]},"reference":[{"volume-title":"Illuminating the path: Research and development agenda for visual analyics","year":"2005","author":"Thomas JJ","key":"bibr1-palgrave.ivs.9500150"},{"key":"bibr2-palgrave.ivs.9500150","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1057\/palgrave.ivs.9500003"},{"volume-title":"Information Visualization","year":"2001","author":"Spence R.","key":"bibr3-palgrave.ivs.9500150"},{"key":"bibr4-palgrave.ivs.9500150","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Schneidewind J, Sips M, Keim DA.
