Design and Implementation of Meteorological Observation Instrument Virtual Assembly System Using Blender

Abstract:

This paper designs and implements virtual Temperature and humidity sensor system on the basis of research on sophisticated structure of meteorological observation instrument and the development tool called Blender, an open source simulation platform. The designing ideas of the virtual system mentioned above have been described in details. Also, we have deeply analyzed and illustrated several Blender's key technical points applied in the system, including development workflow, 3D modeling, data management, human-system interaction, etc. The system adopts two main operation modes: auto-run assembly demo mode and manual assembly simulation mode, which can help users to improve their operation skills and reduce problems exposed in traditional training methods.
