System Overview
The VisDB has been developed to support the exploration of large database.
The VisDB system implements several visual data mining techniques, allowing an exploration
of large databases (up-to about one million data values). The techniques supported by the system
are
- Pixel-oriented Techniques (Spiral, Axes, and Grouping Techniques)
- Parallel Coordinates
- Stick Figures
More information about the system including example screen dumps can be found in the following
