| Summary: | The main purpose of this thesis is to create an information visualization of Hurricane Andrew's path across South Florida in August 1992. Information visualization is a technique used to present data in a visual format. Information visualizations communicate scientific information to nonscientific communities in business, industry, and government. The information visualization created is a computer animation of Hurricane Andrew's development and track across South Florida. The animation will be created from LANDSAT Multispectral Scanner imagery of South Florida and from GOES-7 Infrared imagery of Hurricane Andrew. The project goal is to combine two sets of satellite imagery with different spatial and spectral characteristics into one meaningful representation of Andrew's track across South Florida on August 23-24, 1992. | |
