Layer transparency [Hoarau, AutoCarto 2012]

No consensus in designing mixed visualizations by transparency

Using transparency leads to data scrambling

Conclusion & Further Works

Combining topographic maps and orthoimagery

is a great opportunity…

and a big challenge !

And Now ?

Combine methods together in an automated geovisualization platform

Usability tests of resulting co-visualizations
