# Web-based visual analysis tool for project Analysis

# Web-based visual analysis tool for crminal investigations

This tool forms a part of the research project “__Complex Analysis and Visualization of Large-scale Heterogeneous Data__” (__project Analysis__). The primary goal of project Analysis is to design a system for analysis of big heterogeneous data that are collected by the national police agencies. The goal is to provide a unified tool for criminal investigations, allowing the police forces to access, analyze, visualize and collectively share relevant data or information. The frontend of the system is a __visual analysis tool__ with multiple highly-interactive data visualization modules to allow exploration, effective decision-making, and reasoning about the data, in a way that is intuitive and comprehensible to the analysts solving the crimes.

This is an implementation of the visual analysis tool. More detailed information about this tool, such as system design and requirements, can be found in Kristína Zákopčanová's thesis “[__Visual Analysis of Data for Criminal Investigation__](docs/zakopcanova_thesis.pdf)”. The follow-up work done by Marko Řeháček “[__Building a web-based interactive network visualization in Vue.js__](https://is.muni.cz/auth/th/lxum8/)” describes the development process, explaining the selection of technologies, the system architecture, and algorithms for aggregating nodes in the node-link diagram.
