Abstract

At present the three-dimensional visualization technology is increasingly mature, CAD technology development is playing a more and more important role, especially in the three-dimensional graphics configuration. This paper aims to embed Google Earth into ACIS development environment (the Microsoft Visual Studio platform), being a program window. Extract Google Earth geographic coordinates (the latitude, longitude and elevation information) and convert them into plane coordinates. Make use of ACIS/HOOPS technology to simulate a three-dimensional terrain. Add telegraph poles to topographic map which have been simulated, using Dijkstra algorithm to optimize the laying path.
