Abstract: Classification of Cellular Automata’s rules is the core issue in the CA industry. The research of CA classification is of great significance to many disciplines development, such as sociology, biology, physics and computer science. Based on the variant coding scheme, two-dimensional visual model is established for three variables Boolean function that corresponds with essential CA. The collection of functions is arranged by different encoding in variant coding scheme, which is classified and marked by two classical classifications of CA. From those colored encoding illustrations, intrinsic symmetries can be observed, which have never been seen in original order.

Key words: cellular automata, variant coding scheme, classification, visualization
