Sketch-based modelling and visualization of geological deposition
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a method for sketching and visualizing geological models by sequentially defining stratigraphic layers, where each layer represents a unique erosion or deposition event. Evolution of rivers and deltas is important for geologists when interpreting the stratigraphy of the subsurface, in particular for hydrocarbon exploration. We illustratively visualize mountains, basins, lakes, rivers and deltas, and how they change the morphology of a terrain during their evolution. We present a compact representation of the model and a novel rendering algorithm that allows us to obtain an interactive and illustrative layercake visualization. A user study has been performed to evaluate our method. & 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Three-dimensional Integration and Visualization of Structural Field Data: Tools for Regional Subsurface Mapping Integration Et Visualisation 3-d De Données Structurales De Terrain: Outils Pour La Cartographie Géologique Régionale
Three-dimensional computer modelling of geological phenomena is rapidly emerging as a field within the already mushrooming science of computer visualization. In geological applications three-dimensional interpretations are routinely performed through the use of two-dimensional map data and knowledge about the geological history of an area. These interpretations are traditionally depicted with i...
