Systems and methods are provided for filtering and processing network traffic data and for providing visual representations of the processed data. A lens may identify or filter source and destination addresses in an address space, or identify and filter other network information of interest. A receptor array can be configured to process selected traffic data parameters such as IP header information. The visual representations can be used in real-time network management and to identify anomalous conditions such as distributed denial of service attacks. Image data can be subsequently processed by graphics processors to enhance or identify features in the images. The receptor array may include one or more receptors. Each receptor may have multiple sub-receptors to manage different types of information or distinct data ranges. Furthermore, the receptor array may include regions of different resolution, such as a fovea, a peri-fovea surrounding the fovea, and a periphery surrounding the peri-fovea.
