Abstract

This chapter describes a technique for visualizing the movements of a population in a region at a point in time. It is suitable for cases where a large population is spread throughout the region and can move in all directions, for example the population of a large city. By repeatedly clustering movement vector arrows it can visually summarize the movements of millions of individuals, and do so with moderate computing resources. The technique is designed to work with data captured from mobile phone networks, but other sources of data can also be used.
