An Implementation of 3D Landslide Geological Modeling and Visualization

Abstract:

Three-dimensional (3D) geological modeling and visualization of landslide is very important for landslide monitoring and stability evaluation. Unfortunately there have not been very efficient methods to realize this modeling and visualization process currently. An implementation of 3D landslide geological modeling and visualization based on a hybrid data structure of TIN and GTP is introduced in this paper. The proposed implementation method includes three sections: pre-processing terrain data for known or history data; 3D modeling of landslide terrain surface, slip surface and geological structure surfaces; construction of 3D landslide geological model and 3D visualization of landslide model through java 3D API. The introduced method contributes to a new approach to landslide research.
