Knowledge of human perception has long been incorporated into visualizations to enhance their quality and effectiveness. The last decade, in particular, has shown an increase in perception-based visualization research studies. With all of this recent progress, the visualization community lacks a comprehensive guide to contextualize their results. In this report, we provide a systematic and comprehensive review of research studies on perception related to visualization. This survey reviews perception-focused visualization studies since 1980 and summarizes their research developments focusing on low-level tasks, further breaking techniques down by visual encoding and visualization type. In particular, we focus on how perception is used to evaluate the effectiveness of visualizations, to help readers understand and apply the principles of perception of their visualization designs through a task-optimized approach. We concluded our report with a summary of the weaknesses and open research questions in the area.

按任务分类的基于感知的可视化研究调查

人类感知知识长期以来一直被纳入可视化中，以提高其质量和有效性。特别是在过去十年中，基于感知的可视化研究有所增加。随着最近取得的所有这些进展，可视化社区缺乏一个全面的指南来将他们的结果背景化。在本报告中，我们对与可视化相关的感知研究进行了系统而全面的回顾。该调查回顾了自 1980 年以来以感知为中心的可视化研究，并总结了他们专注于低级任务的研究进展，进一步按视觉编码和可视化类型细分了技术。我们特别关注如何使用感知来评估可视化的有效性，通过任务优化的方法帮助读者理解和应用其可视化设计的感知原则。我们总结了该领域的弱点和开放的研究问题，总结了我们的报告。
