Abstract:

This article studies the correspondence problem for semantically similar images, which is challenging due to the joint visual and geometric deformations. We introduce the Flip-aware Distance Ratio method (FDR) to solve this problem from the perspective of geometric structure analysis. First, a distance ratio constraint is introduced to enforce the geometric consistencies between images with large visual variations, whereas local geometric jitters are tolerated via a smoothness term. For challenging cases with symmetric structures, our proposed method exploits Curl to suppress the mismatches. Subsequently, image correspondence is formulated as a permutation problem, for which we propose a Gradient Guided Simulated Annealing (GGSA) algorithm to perform a robust discrete optimization. Experiments on simulated and real-world datasets, where both visual and geometric deformations are present, indicate that our method significantly improves the baselines for both visually and semantically similar images.

Abstract:

Rapid urban development demands a lot of infrastructure development. The development aims to support the activities of urban communities. Many research has been done on the structure, but the assessment of the visual quality of these structures is still very rarely done, especially in Indonesia. Flyovers are one of the structures that are often present in cities to solve congestion problems. Jakarta as the capital city, has many of these structures. Unfortunately, unwittingly adding structures can affect the visual quality of the surrounding environment. There are many ways to beautify these structures such as by adding plants, giving ornaments in the form of reliefs, to painting with mural art. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the visual quality of flyover structures. The methods used in this article include scenic beauty estimation (SBE), semantic differential (SD), factor analysis, multidimensional scaling, and Kendall’s W. The results obtained are different levels of visual quality of flyover structures based on the appearance of complementary ornaments. Based on SBE analysis, the structure with reliefs that were not colored showed poor visual quality with an SBE value of -46,483. High visual quality based on SBE analysis, namely the structure with the softscape element in the form of landscape plants (89,777). The impression caused by the structure with softscape elements in the form of landscape plants is considered shadier and attractive.

Abstract:

This study is a result of literature review of visual metaphors in the fields of linguistics and advertising. The collected fifty papers came from CNKI. It provided an overview of previous literature, in terms of multi-modal studies of visual metaphor in advertising, the typologies of visual rhetoric and the verbalization of visual metaphor. Based on the identified research gaps, this study proposed suggestions for future research to enrich the theoretical framework of visual metaphor. The review found that the study of visual metaphors remain insufficient in three aspects. Firstly, the relevant studies are mostly in the field of marketing, and lack of extension in linguistics. Secondly, most studies concerned about the cognitive effects of visual metaphor in advertising, but the cognitive processing form of visual metaphor was less focused. Furthermore, although some studies have proved that verbalization is necessary for the comprehension of visual metaphors, there is still no clear conclusion regarding the specific verbalization forms of different types of visual metaphors. Specifically, three syntactic structures have been hypothetically proposed for fusion-structured visual metaphors, as “A is like B, A is B, A with B”, but no empirical evidence suggests which is the most effective in conceptual representation of fusion-structured visual metaphors in advertising. Through the analysis of the differences between these syntactic structures, the author proposed that the verbalization form “A is B” should be the most effective in representing fusion-structured visual metaphors in the context of advertising for its basic metaphorical structure, easily comprehensible form and strong transformational effect.

The suggestion is made that combining analysis using the most advanced crystallographic software with the integrated visual tools of the field will result in more knowledgeable and better trained future generations of structural biologists. The use of integrated visuals could also expedite the structure solution of some recalcitrant and complex macromolecular crystal structures that resist automatic workflows.

Abstract:

Abstract The present study propounds a novel discourse-semantic approach that problematizes the social semiotic analysis of visual narrative in two respects: (i) the lack of a model that can explain the plurifunctional structure of visual acts of communication in general and (ii) the failure to provide the deep structure underlying the characters and/or objects in visual narrative in particular. Redressing these two shortcomings, the approach is methodologically geared towards analysing the visual narrative grammar that encodes the 2017 BBC image-enabled news story of Islamic State (IS). The proposed approach rests on two theoretical models: (i) Roman Jakobson’s (1960) communication model of language functions; (ii) Algirdas Julien Greimas’s (1966, 1987) structural-semantic model of actant grammar. The study has reached two major findings. First, theoretically, the visual narrative analysis of images demands the presence of both (1) a theory that can adequately explain the plurifunctional structure associated with the semiotic complexity of visual communication and (2) a structural-semantic model that reveals the deep structure of the actants that enable the dramatis personae to relate to the events featuring in the mono-/multimodal discourse of narrative. Second, on a practical level of the BBC’s visual storyline, IS has been represented within three actant-based enunciation-spectacles: (a) victimhood with Subject versus Object, (b) beneficiariness with Sender versus Receiver, and (c) villainy (self-presented and other-presented) with Opponent/Victim versus Helper.

Abstract:

Advertisement is a public media to promote a product or a service. Shampoo advertisements, especially the ones made for women, always show the advantages that the product gives to the customers. This study construed beauty standard in shampoo advertisements through the visual and linguistic elements, and found the differences in how they construe the beauty standard. This study used four different brands taken from Cosmopolitan magazine from 2016 to 2018. The brands are Love, Beauty and Planet, Loreal Extraordinary Oil, Treseme and Garnier Fructis. This study used the Multimodality approach using two modes, visual and linguistic elements. This study used Generic Structure Potential by Cheong (2004) to divide the linguistic and visual elements, then used Kress and Leeuwen's visual grammar to analyze the visual element (2006) and used Halliday's metafunction to analyze the linguistic elements (1978). Then this study analyzed the interplay of the visual and linguistic elements to construe beauty standards in society using O'Halloran SF-MDA (2008). The study shows that all of the shampoo advertisements have different ways to construe beauty standard in society through the visual and linguistic elements.

Abstract:

Since its original release, the popular crystal structure visualization programMercuryhas undergone continuous further development. Comparisons between crystal structures are facilitated by the ability to display multiple structures simultaneously and to overlay them. Improvements have been made to many aspects of the visual display, including the addition of depth cueing, and highly customizable lighting and background effects. Textual and numeric data associated with structures can be shown in tables or spreadsheets, the latter opening up new ways of interacting with the visual display. Atomic displacement ellipsoids, calculated powder diffraction patterns and predicted morphologies can now be shown. Some limited molecular-editing capabilities have been added. The object-oriented nature of the C++ libraries underlyingMercurymakes it easy to re-use the code in other applications, and this has facilitated three-dimensional visualization in several other programs produced by the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre.

Abstract:

Advertising is utilized to promote certain products and attract the attention of potential customers to purchase the products. In this study, the researchers use advertisements broadcasted through an electronic form, namely Wardah lipstick advertisement. The advertisement is audiovisual, and the form of the message included sound and moving images. The analysis in this study used a semiotic approach and multimodal analysis focusing on multimodal systems, including aspects of linguistics, visual, audio, gestural, and location. This study used qualitative research methodology by applying a descriptive analysis in the research. The study found that this advertisement covers the five aspects of the multimodal semiotic system: linguistics, visuals, audio, gestural, and location. These five aspects are integrated to convey the core message in Wardah lipstick advertisement. Finally, this research found the meaning contained in an advertising message. The advertisement structure was also composed of verbal and visual text to persuade and affect buyers' decisions.

Abstract:

Visual data analysis with computational intelligence methodsVisual data analysis is an appealing and increasing field of application. We present two related visual analysis approaches that allow for the visualization of graphical model parameters and time-dependent association rules. When the graphical model is defined over purely nominal attributes, its local structure can be interpreted as an association rule. Such association rules comprise one of the most prominent and wide-spread analysis techniques for pattern detection, however, there are only few visualization methods. We introduce an alternative visual representation that also incorporates time since patterns are likely to change over time when the underlying data was collected from real-world processes. We apply the technique to both an artificial and a complex real-life dataset and show that the combined automatic and visual approach gives more and faster insight into the data than a fully-automatic approach only. Thus, our proposed method is capable of reducing considerably the analysis time.

Abstract:

Structural studies of the effects of non-silent mutations on protein conformational change are an important key in deciphering the language that relates protein amino acid primary structure to tertiary structure. Elsewhere, we presented the Protein Mutant Resource (PMR) database, a set of online tools that systematically identified groups of related mutant structures in the Protein DataBank (PDB), accurately inferred mutant classifications in the Gene Ontology using an innovative, statistically rigorous data-mining algorithm with more general applicability, and illustrated the relationship of these mutant structures via an intuitive user interface. Here, we perform a comprehensive statistical analysis of the effect of PMR mutations on protein tertiary structure. We find that, although the PMR does contain spectacular examples of conformational change, in general there is a counter-intuitive inverse relationship between conformational change (measured as C-alpha displacement or RMS of the core structure) and the number of mutations in a structure. That is, point mutations by structural biologists present in the PDB contrast naturally evolved mutations. We compare the frequency of mutations in the PMR/PDB datasets against the accepted PAM250 natural amino acid mutation frequency to confirm these observations. We generated morph movies from PMR structure pairs using technology previously developed for the Macromolecular Motions Database (), allowing bioinformaticians, geneticists, protein engineers, and rational drug designers to analyze visually the mechanisms of protein conformational change and distinguish between conformational change due to motions (e.g., ligand binding) and mutations. The PMR morph movies and statistics can be freely viewed from the PMR website, .

Abstract:

Abstract To date, there are no generally accepted optotypes for monitoring visual acuity. All common optotypes are not completely suitable for some reasons. The tasks requiring visual monitoring - investigation of visual development, early diagnostics, assessment of treatment - impose heavy demands on the test stimuli. They must be: (1) suitable for patients of any age; (2) convenient for repeatable examinations; and (3) accurate enough for revealing the smallest physiologically significant changes of visual acuity. From theoretical consideration, one could conclude that the optotypes for monitoring visual acuity should be designed for measuring visual resolution but not recognition, unlike most popular optotypes. The best optotypes for visual resolution are gratinglike stimuli whose recognition could only be based on the high frequency part of the Fourier spectrum around the characteristic frequency (not on the low-frequency components). On the basis of theoretical analysis we elaborated modified 3-bar optotypes, which minimise the possibility of using low-frequency cues for stimulus recognition. In this paper we present the results of theoretical and experimental comparison of these optotypes with the two widely used ones: tumbling-E and standard 3-bar targets. According to the data obtained, our modified optotypes seem to be better than other investigated ones for monitoring visual acuity.

Abstract:

Objective. Complexity analysis of functional brain structure data represents a new multidisciplinary approach to examining complex, living structures. I aimed to construct a connectivity map of visual brain activities using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data and to characterize the level of complexity of functional brain activity using these connectivity data. Methods. A total of 25 healthy controls and 20 patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) participated. fMRI preprocessing analysis was performed that included head motion correction, temporal filtering, and spatial smoothing process. Brain entropy (BEN) was calculated using the Shannon entropy equation. Results. My findings demonstrated that patients exhibited reduced brain complexity in visual brain areas compared to controls. The mean entropy value of the ADHD group was 0.56±0.14, compared to 0.64±0.11 in the control group. Conclusion. My study adds an important novel result to the growing literature pertaining to abnormal visual processing in ADHD that my ADHD patients had lower BEN values, indicating more-regular functional brain structure and abnormal visual information processing.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to problems of visual analysis of clusters structures for a multidimensional datasets. For visual analyzing an approach of elastic maps design [1,2] is applied. This approach is quite suitable for processing and visualizing of multidimensional datasets. To analyze clusters in original data volume the elastic maps are used as the methods of original data points mapping to enclosed manifolds having less dimensionality. Diminishing the elasticity parameters one can design map surface which approximates the multidimensional dataset in question much better. Then the points of dataset in question are projected to the map. The extension of designed map to a flat plane allows one to get an insight about the cluster structure of multidimensional dataset. The approach of elastic maps does not require any a priori information about data in question and does not depend on data nature, data origin, etc. Elastic maps are usually combined with PCA approach. Being presented in the space based on three first principal components the elastic maps provide quite good results. The article describes the results of elastic maps approach application to visual analysis of clusters for different multidimensional datasets including medical data.

Abstract:

It has been proposed that comics are a particular form of a fundamental human ability to produce visual narratives – a visual language. The expression of this visual language has received little attention outside comics. To address this matter, this work compares comics and scientific diagrams, focusing on representations of morphological transformation. Cohn’s Visual Narrative Grammar model, the role of dynamic knowledge structures and semiotics are considered in this analysis. A comic book and a diagram are investigated. Both reveal two kinds of transformation narratives: those that are depicted in the image sequence, and those that are inferred. In contrast to depicted narratives, inferred narratives do not depend on a narrative structure. Instead, they require context-specific instructions to organize subjects into narratives. Additionally, simultaneous events in visual narratives are proposed to generate concurrent narrative structures within a single image sequence.

Full text

Abstract:

In the real world, complex dynamic scenes often arise from the composition of simpler parts. The visual system exploits this structure by hierarchically decomposing dynamic scenes: When we see a person walking on a train or an animal running in a herd, we recognize the individual’s movement as nested within a reference frame that is, itself, moving. Despite its ubiquity, surprisingly little is understood about the computations underlying hierarchical motion perception. To address this gap, we developed a class of stimuli that grant tight control over statistical relations among object velocities in dynamic scenes. We first demonstrate that structured motion stimuli benefit human multiple object tracking performance. Computational analysis revealed that the performance gain is best explained by human participants making use of motion relations during tracking. A second experiment, using a motion prediction task, reinforced this conclusion and provided fine-grained information about how the visual system flexibly exploits motion structure.

Abstract:

At present, the work to analyze fabric structure still depends on artificial visual measurement, which is easily influenced by personal sight, mood, mental state as well as light condition. With the development of image processing technology and artificial intelligence, automatic analysis on fabric structure as a replacement of manual labor is of great possibility. In this study, features of fabric-image have been extracted by GLCM (Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix). These features were analyzed by employing a three layer BP neural network. Three kinds of fabric structures such as plain, twill and satin was verified and the accurate recognition rate is very high to 93.45%.

Abstract:

Detecting references and similarities in music lyrics can be a difficult task. Crowdsourced knowledge platforms such as Genius. can help in this process through user-annotated information about the artist and the song but fail to include visualizations to help users find similarities and structures on a higher and more abstract level. We propose a prototype to compute similarities between rap artists based on word embedding of their lyrics crawled from Genius. Furthermore, the artists and their lyrics can be analyzed using an explorative visualization system applying multiple visualization methods to support domain-specific tasks.

Abstract:

The concept of practice occurs frequently in current research about the visual. However, the term remains problematic as it cannot always clarify the complexity of the topic. Following an initial discussion of the subject area and central questions of a sociology of visual communication, I proceed to show that visual practices are embedded in many different social structures that condition forms of practice. This aspect is reflected on theoretically with reference to the concept of artifacts outlined by Herbert Simons in Sciences of the Artificial. As Simons does not seek to establish any connection to sociology, his thoughts must first be developed for the discipline. This is achieved, inter alia, by taking up the structural concepts of Giddens and Luhmann. Having established this background, the notion of practice is reconsidered in relation to the structures of social realities and to a concept of the sociology of visual communication. In the discussion, methodological and methodical conclusions are drawn from these conceptual considerations, which are important for the further development of the analysis of the visual.

Abstract:

3D protein structures can be analyzed using a distance matrix calculated as the pairwise distance between all Cα atoms in the protein model. Although researchers have efficiently used distance matrices to classify proteins and find homologous proteins, much less work has been done on quantitative analysis of distance matrix features. Therefore, the distance matrix was analyzed as gray scale image using KAZE feature extractor algorithm with Bag of Visual Words model. In this study, each protein was represented as a histogram of visual codewords. The analysis showed that a very small number of codewords (~1%) have a high relative frequency (> 0.25) and that the majority of codewords have a relative frequency around 0.05. We have also shown that there is a relationship between the frequency of codewords and the position of the features in a distance matrix. The codewords that are more frequent are located closer to the main diagonal. Less frequent codewords, on the other hand, are located in the corners of the distance matrix, far from the main diagonal. Moreover, the analysis showed a correlation between the number of unique codewords and the 3D repeats in the protein structure. The solenoid and tandem repeats proteins have a significantly lower number of unique codewords than the globular proteins. Finally, the codeword histograms and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier were used to classify solenoid and globular proteins. The result showed that the SVM classifier fed with codeword histograms correctly classified 352 out of 354 proteins.

Abstract:

Visual search is a ubiquitous visual behavior, and efficient search is essential for survival. Different cognitive models have explained the speed and accuracy of search based either on the dynamics of attention or on similarity of item representations. Here, we examined the extent to which performance on a visual search task can be predicted from the stable representational architecture of the visual system, independent of attentional dynamics. Participants performed a visual search task with 28 conditions reflecting different pairs of categories (e.g., searching for a face among cars, body among hammers, etc.). The time it took participants to find the target item varied as a function of category combination. In a separate group of participants, we measured the neural responses to these object categories when items were presented in isolation. Using representational similarity analysis, we then examined whether the similarity of neural responses across different subdivisions of the visual system had the requisite structure needed to predict visual search performance. Overall, we found strong brain/behavior correlations across most of the higher-level visual system, including both the ventral and dorsal pathways when considering both macroscale sectors as well as smaller mesoscale regions. These results suggest that visual search for real-world object categories is well predicted by the stable, task-independent architecture of the visual system. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Here, we ask which neural regions have neural response patterns that correlate with behavioral performance in a visual processing task. We found that the representational structure across all of high-level visual cortex has the requisite structure to predict behavior. Furthermore, when directly comparing different neural regions, we found that they all had highly similar category-level representational structures. These results point to a ubiquitous and uniform representational structure in high-level visual cortex underlying visual object processing.

Abstract:

After an explosion, determining the remaining capacity of a structure to resist a progressive collapse can provide valuable information for emergency operations and decision makers. Condition assessments after a blast are commonly performed with a visual inspection. However, visual inspections can be time-consuming and involve putting additional personnel into harm’s way. Analytical blast analyses can estimate a structures post-blast condition, but to achieve a high level of accuracy these analyses can be time-consuming and require information regarding the blast event which may not be available at the time. This presents a need for a threat independent post-blast analysis method, which can assess for the post-blast structural condition without requiring personnel to enter the structure. The alternate path method has been used to design buildings to resist a progressive collapse; however, it does not incorporate damage outside of element failure making it unsuitable for post-blast condition assessments. Model updating using modal properties from vibration measurements has been used in structural health monitoring to estimate damage on structures, but it has not been applied to post-blast structures. In this article, a method to estimate the remaining elemental structural capacity of a post-blast structure, called the adaptive alternate path analysis, is presented. This method involves using the alternate path method to assess an updated numerical model, which incorporates the buildings’ structural damage. To demonstrate the impact of incorporating additional damage beyond elemental failure on a structure’s capacity, a simulated study is presented using simulated stiffness reductions. A blast simulation is then used to show the capacity of the updated numerical model to represent the post-blast structure and the improvements gained over using the original model. The presented methodology can be used to assess a structures potential for progressive collapse after a blast, leading to safer emergency operations.

Abstract:

The branching structure of neurones is thought to influence patterns of connectivity and how inputs are integrated within the arbor. Recent studies have revealed a remarkable degree of variation in the branching structure of pyramidal cells in the cerebral cortex of diurnal primates, suggesting regional specialization in neuronal function. Such specialization in pyramidal cell structure may be important for various aspects of visual function, such as object recognition and color processing. To better understand the functional role of regional variation in the pyramidal cell phenotype in visual processing, we determined the complexity of the dendritic branching pattern of pyramidal cells in visual cortex of the nocturnal New World owl monkey. We used the fractal dilation method to quantify the branching structure of pyramidal cells in the primary visual area (V1), the second visual area (V2) and the caudal and rostral subdivisions of inferotemporal cortex (ITc and ITr, respectively), which are often associated with color processing. We found that, as in diurnal monkeys, there was a trend for cells of increasing fractal dimension with progression through these cortical areas. The increasing complexity paralleled a trend for increasing symmetry. That we found a similar trend in both diurnal and nocturnal monkeys suggests that it was a feature of a common anthropoid ancestor.

Abstract:

AbstractThe effects of bilateral lesions of the centrifugal visual system (CVS) on the visual-discrimination capacity were studied in pigeons. Three different behavioral experiments, each testing different aspects of visual analysis, were performed. In the first two experiments, a grain-grit discrimination task and a visual-acuity determination, stimuli were presented in the frontal binocular visual field. A third experiment investigated the early detection of slow moving objects, introduced into the monocular lateral visual field. After bilateral lesions in the nucleus isthmo-opticus (ION) and in the ectopic nucleus isthmo-opticus (EION), a multiple linear regression analysis was employed to correlate the postoperative performance in all three tasks with the amount of structure loss within ION and EION. Deficits in the grain-grit discrimination procedure were a function of the ION lesion extent and did not depend on EION damage. Thus, these two structures could be functionally differentiated for the first time. Neither the ION nor the EION seems to be involved in visual- acuity performance or the early detection of large shadows moving forward through the visual field. Our data support the hypothesis that the CVS is involved in pecking and food selection among static stimuli at a short viewing distance in ground-feeding birds such as pigeons and chickens.

Three types of organic cage compounds, namely, cucurbit[6]uril (Q[6]), hemicucurbit[6]uril (HQ[6]), and β-cyclodextrin (BC), with different cavity structures as heterogeneous nucleation agents were selected for a polypropylene (PP) foaming injection molding process. The experimental results showed that Q[6] with a “natural” cavity structure possessed the best nucleation efficiency of these three cage compounds. The nucleation mechanism of organic cage compounds was explored through classical nucleation theory, molecular structure, and in situ visual injection molding analysis.

Abstract:

Abstract. The paper is devoted to problems of visual analysis of multidimensional data sets using an approach based on the construction of elastic maps. This approach is quite suitable for processing and visualizing of multidimensional datasets. The elastic maps are used as the methods of original data points mapping to enclosed manifolds having less dimensionality. Diminishing the elasticity parameters one can design map surface which approximates the multidimensional dataset in question much better. Then the points of dataset in question are projected to the map. The extension of designed map to a flat plane allows one to get an insight about the structure of multidimensional dataset. The paper presents the results of applying elastic maps for visual analysis of multidimensional data sets of medical origin. Previously developed data processing procedures are applied to improve the results obtained - pre-filtering of data, removal of separated clusters (flotation), quasi-Zoom.

Abstract:

A method for visualizing discussion flow is proposed for analyzing the thread in KGBBS (KeyGraph-based BBS). It is known that group discussion is effective for chance discovery, in which information visualization plays an important role in providing participants with a material to that brainstorm various ideas, opinions, and interpretations. In order to enable online discussion while sharing the same visualized material, KGBBS is proposed based on KeyGraph, which is one of the typical visualization techniques in chance discovery. The aim of this paper is to utilize the result of discussion using KGBBS, by visualizing discussion flow of the thread in KGBBS. The method consists of 2 kinds of visualization techniques — a comment chain diagram to visualize the structure of comment chain, and a visual summary on KeyGraph to visualize concrete transition of topics through successive 2 or 3 comments. The proposed method is applied to actual discussion data, and the analysis results show the combination of both the visualization techniques, making it possible to analyze concrete transition of topics without reading comments in a thread.

Abstract:

Abstract. This presentation presents a dialectical approach for the analysis and synthesis of geovisual communication systems using the graphic variables of Jacques Bertin as the primary analytical structure. This approach to studying geovisual communication accounts for its dynamics and interaction. It builds primarily on semiotic concepts advanced by Roland Barthes and Umberto Eco that emphasize the interactions between author and reader and the cultural circulation of knowledge. It relies on a Kantian critical epistemology to move beyond an instrumental description of a graphics-based system of communication. The visual system of affordances made and understood with a geovisualization produces situative meaning involving signification and interpretation, which is neither static nor discrete, but transforms what is known and what can be known. These conclusions lead to theoretical insights related to prior discursive concepts of visual communication and raise some questions for future research about the socio-cognitive affordances of cartographic visualization. A practical example shows the empirical approach and initial validation.Visual Variables Structure CommunicationThe seminal contributions of Roland Barthes point to the process of embedding visual meaning regarding sign, signifier, signified, sign and concept as an extension to Saussure's dyadic approach as two semiological systems, which accounts for the importance of Saussure's bar in the communication of meaning. The two systems code the knowledge of communication, accounting for the situatedness of meaning and its discursive making that connects a sign to a cultural context. Umberto Eco goes beyond Pierce’s icon, index, and symbol trichotomy of a sign through an ongoing chain of interpretative referrals. This approach starts with an active collaboration between creator and reader. It can involve multiple circumstances, cultural aspects and evolve. Visual variables structure communication in an ongoing process.The signification of a visual variable is analogous to an atom in a communication process. The analysis of the visual variables of a graphic element in a communication systems sense commences with an analysis of these visual variables related to individual elements and complex symbols. Barthes’ functions, actions, and narrative offer a valuable framework. A synthesis follows that considers the epistemological aspects of a partial system and what its functions purport to do and what they actually do. The analytically determined relationships can be synthesized into webs of explicit and implicit meanings associated with Barthes' structure. This combination and visual intermingling of graphic representations in a geovisualization broaden then to consider their interactions and associations with creator and reader. The visual encompasses the semiotic communication of meaning. The dialectical and critical consideration of the relations and the structure of the communication leads to an improved comprehension of the affordances manifest in the graphical communication system. It also begins to account for mental aspects of perception.A model of geovisual communication?The theory and methods of this semiotic approach involve considering Bertin’s graphical variables as elements of a model that corresponds to the communication system. Further, the structure of the geovisualization can be modeled symbolically to take up the questions how coding and decoding take place and made reliable given the dynamics of communication and the reliance on conventions in most cartography. This presentation closes with a summary of the benefits of a semiotic approach to the analysis and teaching of geovisual communication.
