A web-based 3D geological information visualization system

Abstract

Construction of 3D geological visualization system has attracted much more concern in GIS, computer modeling, simulation and visualization fields. It not only can effectively help geological interpretation and analysis work, but also can it can help leveling up geosciences professional education. In this paper, an applet-based method was introduced for developing a web-based 3D geological information visualization system. The main aims of this paper are to explore a rapid and low-cost development method for constructing a web-based 3D geological system. First, the borehole data stored in Excel spreadsheets was extracted and then stored in SQLSERVER database of a web server. Second, the JDBC data access component was utilized for providing the capability of access the database. Third, the user interface was implemented with applet component embedded in JSP page and the 3D viewing and querying functions were implemented with PickCanvas of Java3D. Last, the borehole data acquired from geological survey were used for test the system, and the test results has shown that related methods of this paper have a certain application values.

The necessity of developing knowledge map of the world in Earth Sciences and mines field studies based on research activities: a case study of Iran

“…In this regard, in some societies such as research organizations, they will receive only additional or even past funding, which they provide a clear definition of the expected research impacts on research work and providing clear technical and economic studies on cost-benefit research outputs (Griffiths 1993), distinction between conceptual difference such as some words, outputs and results, and their effects (Penfield et al, 2014). tion pattern between academic staff of the Geological Survey of Iran (GSI) (Kashanian 1392); also extensive studies carried out on many different aspect of geosciences such as scientomerty (San Andreas Fault System, Gizzi, 2017; disciplinary diversity and international collaboration, Gautam, 2017) application of GIS in geoscience (Qu et al, 2001, Reynolds et al, 2006, Sinha et al, 2010, Li & Xiao, 2013, Song & Jiang, 2013, Giorgis, 2015, Kouziokas, 2016, Ritschel et al, 2012. Simons et al (2012) emphasized to developing sharing geoscience knowledge because it is so necessary to a developing initiatives and provide an opportunity to conduct many queries (Taber et al, 2012); Howard et al, 2009…”
