Research on Technology of Building Three-Dimensional Geological Simulation Model by Octree Algorithm Method

Abstract:

Accurate terrain data should be obtained in order to research geological structure modeling problem, and it is difficult to truly reflect the form of three-dimensional geological body by traditional three-dimensional spatial data model method. By taking geological structure modeling problem as research object, this paper analyzes geological modeling principles, builds the volume element model of octree subdivision algorithm, proposes to build a three-dimensional geological body by octree subdivision algorithm based on multi-scale, meets the needs of multi-scale organization of data as well as multi-scale division of geological bodies and attributes based on the geological object expression of octree subdivision algorithm, establishes the links between various geological objects through spatial volume element, lays a good foundation for spatial analysis and provides data support for the three-dimensional visualization of geology. The results of simulation experiment show that the proposed geological modeling method through octree subdivision algorithm is accurate and efficient, and it can adapt to the construction of three-dimensional complex geological model under common complex geological conditions and reflect the true form of three-dimensional geological body.
