The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for automatically detecting hot areas in heat map visualizations. One example method includes identifying a two-dimensional heat map. The identified two-dimensional heat map is converted to a one-dimensional heat map. Cells of the one-dimensional heat map are clustered using a density-based clustering algorithm to generate at least one dense region of cells. A mean value of cells in each dense region is calculated and the dense regions are sorted by mean value in descending order. An approach for identifying hot areas is selected and the selected approach is used to identify at least one dense region as a hot area of the one-dimensional heat map.
