Abstract

We present a general concept for the enhancement of visual interfaces with automatic figure captions describing a visualization. The incorporation of figure captions in interactive systems raises some fundamentally new questions as these images are exposed to changes. The dynamic aspects to be considered include the update and customization of figure captions.We employ figure captions not only for the description of images but also for their modification leading to the introduction of interactive figure captions. A general architecture is developed and comprehensively described referring to two application domains: medical illustrations and geographic maps.
