An Object-oriented Vector Data Model for 3d Geological Volume Modeling*
نویسندگان
چکیده
The 3D data model is an important issue to be solved in 3DGIS. Based on the study of the basic characteristics of geological objects and the especial requirement for computational 3D geological volume modeling, the authors give out an object-oriented 3D topologic data model for geological volume modeling. In this data model, the geological volumes are divided into four classes: the composite volume class, the complex volume class, the simple volume class and the component class. The component is the basic volume element for the division of a geological volume, and is constituted by points, characteristic links, arcs, polygons on the profile and component faces. The data model is useful in the modeling of geological volumes and relevant topologic query and analysis.

متن کامل3D Modeling and Visualization of Geology Volume based on Geophysical Field Data
3D modeling and visualization of geology volume is very important to interpret accurately and locate subsurface geology volume for mining exploration and deep prospecting. However, it faces a lack of information because the target area is usually unexplored and lacks geological data. This paper presents our experience in applying a 3D model of geology volume based on geophysics. This work has r...
متن کاملIntegration of GOCAD with an object-oriented geo-database system
The wide-spread use of GOCAD [Mal92a, GC99] in the geosciences as an application for 3D-modeling makes it a significant tool for an open 3D-GIS environment. Therefore GOCAD should provide an open interface for an object-oriented data and methods exchange. Unfortunately, hitherto GOCAD’s 3Dobjects are not managed by modern database technology. Therefore it is proposed to develop a coupling betwe...

متن کاملGTP-based Integral Real-3D Spatial Model for Engineering Excavation GIS (EGIS)*
Engineering excavation GIS (EGIS) is a real-3D GIS serving for geosciences related to geo-engineering, civil engineering and mining engineering based on generalized tri-prism (GTP) model. As two instances of GTP model, G-GTP is used for the real-3D modeling of subsurface geological bodies, and E-GTP is used for the real-3D modeling of subsurface engineering excavations. Based on the discussions...
