Sonification of time-dependent data

Abstract

Bonification is the process of transforming visual information into sound. This dissertation focus es more particularly on the problem of representing time-dependent data with sound. This kind of data often requires some preprocessing
be/ore any sonification mapping can be applied. Pitch-based mapping can then be executed on the data, and possibly enhanced with additional sonification techniques, such as slope indicators and extreme values detectors. Two applications are developed in order to ease the sonification process of two-dimensional and three-dimensional data. Finally, an online questionnaire is presented for each application, by which the chosen sonification methods are evaluated
