Abstract
A system acquires geocoded data, smoothes the geocoded data, and displays the smoothed geocoded data in a graphical visualization representative of the physical locations of the acquired geocoded data. The system obtains an indication of operational parameters for smoothing geocoded data, such as a data precision level, viewing window, data characteristics, and smoothing parameters. The system generates an area map that includes entries for each location in the viewing window (or other predetermined area) according to the data precision level. The system may populate any entries without associated data values with a zero value. To process the geocoded data, the system may determine a vector of interest from the area map and generate, for example, a single smoothing matrix that smoothes each of the values in the vector of interest. The system applies the smoothing matrix to the vector of interest.
