Abstract

As the surface visualization model is an important part of the three-dimensional geological mapping, automatically surface visualization modeling has very strong practicability. Using the elevation information provided by DEM (Digital Elevation Model), the surface visualization model which represents geological properties can be constructed costly and effectively. The paper discussed some data processing technologies in the application of geological surface modeling from the authors’ development work. And gave a detail description about how to automatically implementing the geological surface visualization modeling with DEM and the geological survey data.
