Abstract

Objectives: Data visualization, the use of images to represent information, is now becoming properly appreciated due to the benefits it can bring to business. This paper focuses on the general background of data visualization and visualization techniques. Methods: Data visualization has the prospective to assist humans in analysing and comprehending large volumes of data, and to detect patterns, clusters and outliers that are not obvious using non-graphical forms of presentation. For this reason, data visualizations have an important role to play in a diverse range of applied problems, including data exploration and mining, Information retrieval and intelligence analysis. In real time various techniques have been used of which Geometric projection techniques, Iconographic display techniques, Pixel-oriented, Hierarchical techniques, Graphbased techniques are discussed. Findings: The major difficultly in big data visualization is to preserve any of the original dimensional information. The taxonomy detailed here show that the local and global structure of the data can be visualized in an interactive manner and has a massive advantage.
