Abstract
Food classification is an important part of food safety standards. In this paper, we propose a novel visual comparative analysis method for food classification trees (FCTs) in pesticide maximum residue limit (MRL) standards, called TreeMerge, to lay the foundation for a comprehensive comparison of pesticide MRL standards. First, a union tree is constructed by combining the two FCTs to be compared. Then, sunburst with an embedded chordal graph (SECG) and overlapping circular treemap (OCT), which are two new visualization solutions designed in this paper, are used to show the similarities and differences in a union tree. SECG can express the hierarchical structure and the similarity between corresponding nodes in the union tree at the same time. OCT uses an improved nested Venn diagram (overlapping circle) to express the attribute values in each layer of the union tree and uses a circle-filling layout algorithm based on the testing circle to improve the readability and space utilization of the view. Finally, a visual analysis system for comparing FCT, named FCTvis, is designed and implemented to support the exploration of the structural difference pattern of food classification in the two MRL standards and the quantity or scale of residue limits in various foods. The effectiveness of TreeMerge was verified by case studies on pesticide MRL standards in the Chinese Mainland and Chinese Hong Kong.
