Formula One races provide a wealth of data worth investigating. Although the time-varying data has a clear structure, it is pretty challenging to analyze it for further properties. Here the focus is on a visual classification for events, drivers, as well as time periods. As a first step, the Formula One data is visually encoded based on a line plot visual metaphor reflecting the dynamic lap times, and finally, a classification of the races based on the visual outcomes gained from these line plots is presented. The visualization tool is web-based and provides several interactively linked views on the data; however, it starts with a calendar-based overview representation. To illustrate the usefulness of the approach, the provided Formula One data from several years is visually explored while the races took place in different locations. The chapter discusses algorithmic, visual, and perceptual limitations that might occur during the visual classification of time-series data such as Formula One races.

Visual classification of commercial products is a branch of the wider fields of object detection and feature extraction in computer vision, and, in particular, it is an important step in the creative workflow in fashion industries. Automatically classifying garment features makes both designers and data experts aware of their overall production, which is fundamental in order to organize marketing campaigns, avoid duplicates, categorize apparel products for e-commerce purposes, and so on. There are many different techniques for visual classification, ranging from standard image processing to machine learning approaches: this work, made by using and testing the aforementioned approaches in collaboration with Adidas AG™, describes a real-world study aimed at automatically recognizing and classifying logos, stripes, colors, and other features of clothing, solely from final rendering images of their products. Specifically, both deep learning and image processing techniques, such as template matching, were used. The result is a novel system for image recognition and feature extraction that has a high classification accuracy and which is reliable and robust enough to be used by a company like Adidas. This paper shows the main problems and proposed solutions in the development of this system, and the experimental results on the Adidas AG™ dataset.
