摘　　要：当前,面对科学、工程和商业领域中海量的多维信息,用户迫切需要使用有效的可视化工具在知识发现、信息认知及信息决策过程中对其进行理解。首先对多维和多变元的概念进行了界定,给出了二者的适用领域,然后基于多维可视化技术的分类体系,详细阐述了各类技术代表方法的基本原理、适用性及功能作用,最后分析比较了各类技术方法的优缺点,展望了多维可视化技术未来的研究方向及其面临的挑战。At present, effective visualization tools are needed urgently to understand the abundant multidimensional and multivariate information in the science, engineering and commerce field. This paper defined the terms of multidimensional and multivariate and introduced the field that each of them is suitable for. According to the classification of the multidimensional and multivariate data visualization, the paper introduced the basic principle, applicability and function of these typical methods of each kind of technique. A summary of these techniques compared using the same criterion was presented. A discussion on the future research topics and the challenges of the multidimensional visualization were also referred to.
