Visualization model of moving simple region

This paper proposes a visualization model of any object of moving simple region in order to make the movement of this region and its behavior can be monitored well. This model is developed as an extension of an existing visualization model, which only cope a moving point movement. Simple region is chosen because the need of visualization of its movement is arise. This type of moving region object can not be represented with only refer to the moving point object which has been developed in previous studies. This time the research done to develop a model of region moving by analyzing the characteristics of movement region that could grow or shrink, and moved to different locations. It consists of two parts. The first part are simple-region time cube and thematic attribute graph. It should evaluate all task about moving simple region spatio-temporal and thematic attributes aspect. The second part is movement behavior cube which expected to evaluate all task relate to the movement behavior of the simple region. The model is evaluated by implementing a software prototype called MOVE (Moving Object Visualization Engine), which can visualize the movement trajectory, the movement behavior, and the changes of other attributes along the object movement. The result shows that the model can be implemented to visualize the movement of simple region and the behavior of its movement.
