The process of creating multi-unit 3D geological models by successive unit interpolation may be tedious and time-consuming. Here, we propose to automate this procedure through presenting the problem as a classification task and solving it simultaneously with the Support Vector Machine (SVM), a method known from the field of artificial intelligence. Experiments with various input data and kernel...

A three-dimensional (3-D) geological model has been established for Hong Kong using existing borehole data in order to facilitate detailed site investigations future engineering projects. This study aims digitalise ground investigation Kong, develop easy-to-use tools 3-D management and visualisation, eventually establish models Kong. The modelling capabilities include retrieval processing, cros...

The interpretation of potential and electromagnetic fields observed over 3D geological structures remains one of the most challenging problems of exploration geophysics. In this paper I present an overview of novel methods of inversion and imaging of gravity and electromagnetic data, which are based on new advances in the regularization theory related to the application of special stabilizing f...

In civil engineering infrastructural projects, information exchange and (re-) use in and between involved parties is difficult. This is mainly caused by a lack of information harmonization. Various specialists are working together on the development of an infrastructural project and are all using their own specific software and definitions for the various information types. The variety of infor...

Multi-scale geological models contain three-dimensional, spatially referenced data, typically spanning at least six orders of magnitude from outcrop to regional scale. A large number of different geological and geophysical data sources can be combined into a single model. Established 3D visualisation methods that are widely used in hydrocarbon exploration and production for sub-surface data hav...

Interpretation of potential and electromagnetic (EM) fields observed over 3D geological structures remains one of the most challenging problems of exploration geophysics. In this paper I present an overview of modern methods of inversion and imaging of gravity, magnetic, and EM data, which are based on new advances in regularization theory related to application of special stabilizing functiona...
