Abstract:

With the popularity of mobile phones, large-scale communication data has brought people unprecedented opportunities to observe the urban microstructure and dynamics.However the complexity of such large-scale high-dimensional heterogeneous spatio-temporal data has brought challenges to effective data interpretation.Accordingly, visualization, as an important means of big data analysis, is being applied to this field more and more.The recent research work on urban visual analysis based on communication data was reviewed.Firstly, the major sources, characteristics and common data processing methods of the mobile phone data were summarized.Secondly, the corresponding visualization methods from three aspects were elaborated, namely, the internal objects of mobile communication data such as human, communication equipment and urban space, and the frequent urban visual analysis task and features based on communication data were summarized.Finally, the prospect of urban visual analysis based on communication data was presented.

Key words: communication data, visual analysis, intelligent urban sensing, human behavior pattern, urban dynamics
