Mobile Phone Data visualization using Python QGIS API

Data visualization is a graphical representation which helps in unveiling hidden patterns from large and complex data, so called Big Data. The term Big Data is used for datasets which have wide, varied and transcendental structure and are thus challenging for storing, analyzing and visualizing. Logical interpretation is not possible from raw data, because people are visual by nature. Only thanks to the visualization, the human brain can process, absorb and interpret concurrently plenty of information. Due to the fact that creation of information is growing more rapidly than people’s consumption of information and that there is an urgent need for utilization of that information in real time, the automatization of the processing and visualization data is mandatory. Here, we examined how to automatize process of visualization of CDR (Call Detail Record) data using open source Python QGIS API.
