Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to improve map type data visualizations in which custom images are used as background against which datasets are visualized. In various examples, coordinate systems are automatically generated and applied to the custom image based on the positional data of the dataset. The custom image may replace a pre-existing background, and the plotting of the dataset may be automatically modified based on differences between the pre-existing background and the custom image. Aspects provide for enhanced user control of the map type visualization to further modify how datasets are plotted and how visualizations are presented. Example modifications include offsets and scales, which may be automatically determined and applied or set manually. In some examples, the custom image may be part of a set of image tiles, which are operable to provide various levels of detail from several viewing angles and heights.

Abstract translation: 提供了系统和方法来改进地图类型数据可视化，其中自定义图像被用作可视化数据集的背景。 在各种示例中，基于数据集的位置数据，自动生成坐标系并将其应用于自定义图像。 自定义图像可以替换预先存在的背景，并且可以基于预先存在的背景和自定义图像之间的差异来自动修改数据集的绘图。 方面提供增强的用户对地图类型可视化的控制，以进一步修改如何绘制数据集，以及如何呈现可视化。 示例修改包括可自动确定和应用或手动设置的偏移量和比例尺。 在一些示例中，自定义图像可以是一组图像块的一部分，其可操作以从多个视角和高度提供各种级别的细节。
