天文学需要瓷砖展示墙吗?
Are tiled display walls needed for astronomy?
摘要:
将商品显示器聚集到平铺显示墙(TDW)中提供了一种具有成本效益的方式来创建极高分辨率的显示器,能够接近现代天文仪器现在产生的图像尺寸。天文学家面临的挑战是检查单个大图像,同时检查许多相似的图像,以及异质但相关的内容。许多研究机构建造了TDW,其基础是它们将改进天文图像的科学成果。我们测试这个概念,提出样本图像天文学家和非天文学家使用标准的桌面显示器(SDD)和TDW。这些样本包括标准英语单词、宽视场星系巡天图和哈勃望远镜拍摄的星云镶嵌图。这些实验表明,TDWs提供了一个更好的环境,搜索大图像中的小目标比SDD。它还表明,天文学家往往比非天文学家更善于搜索目标的图像,两组通常更好地采用物理导航,而不是虚拟导航,并且两个非天文学家使用TDW的组合可以与单个天文学家的经验相媲美。然而,参与者之间的能力也有很大的分布,内容的性质也起着重要的作用。
英文摘要:
Clustering commodity displays into a Tiled Display Wall (TDW) provides a cost-effective way to create an extremely high resolution display, capable of approaching the image sizes now gen- erated by modern astronomical instruments. Astronomers face the challenge of inspecting single large images, many similar images simultaneously, and heterogeneous but related content. Many research institutions have constructed TDWs on the basis that they will improve the scientific outcomes of astronomical imagery. We test this concept by presenting sample images to astronomers and non- astronomers using a standard desktop display (SDD) and a TDW. These samples include standard English words, wide field galaxy surveys and nebulae mosaics from the Hubble telescope. These experiments show that TDWs provide a better environment for searching for small targets in large images than SDDs. It also shows that astronomers tend to be better at searching images for targets than non-astronomers, both groups are generally better when employing physical navigation as opposed to virtual navigation, and that the combination of two non-astronomers using a TDW rivals the experience of a single astronomer. However, there is also a large distribution in aptitude amongst the participants and the nature of the content also plays a significant role is success.
