    This study introduces a novel dynamic color scale optimization technique using sampling lenses. This method enhances data visualization by adapting color scales to improve visual search and image inspection tasks.

    Area of Science:

    • Computer Science
    • Human-Computer Interaction
    • Data Visualization

    Background:

    • Color scales are crucial for mapping quantitative data in visualization applications.
    • Limitations exist in color perception and display hardware, affecting visualization effectiveness.
    • Existing methods lack dynamic adaptation to data content and user needs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a new interaction technique for dynamically optimizing color scales.
    • To overcome limitations of static color scales in visualization.
    • To improve the effectiveness of visual search and image inspection tasks.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a pipeline that inspects sampling lens contents in data space.
    • Dynamically optimizes color scales based on inspected data.
