Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for adjusting the boundary of cross geological profiles based on real-time linkage of two-dimensional and three-dimensional data, belonging to the field of geological exploration. Background Technology
[0002] For many years, with increasing pressure on resources and the environment, countries around the world have turned their attention to the deep Earth's crust, continuously increasing the depth of mineral resource exploration. Making the Earth's deep interior transparent has become a focus of attention for more and more countries. In particular, the development of international collaborative "one geology" activities has further propelled the construction of "Glassy Earth" into the international cooperation process, attracting high attention from the geological science community and governments of various countries. In a country or region, "Glassy Earth," also known as a glassy territory, involves the core work of constructing multi-scale, multi-element three-dimensional geological models.
[0003] Geological profiles are the primary data source for 3D geological modeling. In modeling areas with complex fault structures and significant stratigraphic variations, it is essential to employ a series of intersecting geological profiles in two different directions to effectively control the regional geological structure and ensure that the established 3D geological model truly becomes a digital twin of the area.
[0004] The compilation of cross-geological profiles is relatively complex, especially in collaborative work involving multiple people. Due to differences in geological understanding, it is necessary to ensure the consistency of geological boundaries with the same attributes while also ensuring the rationality of the spatial distribution and morphology of complex stratigraphic and fault systems. This requires repeated adjustments to the geological boundaries in the profiles within the 2D map compilation system. It is important to emphasize that this is a very tedious process. Before the 2D map compilation system and the 3D modeling system are linked, the effects of each round of modifications and adjustments cannot be seen in a timely manner, making it impossible to identify problems promptly. This is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and ineffective, hindering the rapid and efficient advancement of digital twins of regional geological structures and the construction of a "glass land." Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a method for adjusting the boundaries of intersecting geological profiles based on real-time two-dimensional and three-dimensional linkage. This invention can perform real-time three-dimensional and two-dimensional linkage adjustment of the boundaries of intersecting geological profiles, providing geological profile drafters with an efficient, real-time, and accurate method for modifying and adjusting profiles.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this invention is: a method for adjusting the boundary of intersecting geological profiles based on real-time linkage in two and three dimensions, comprising at least the following steps:
[0007] (1) Three-dimensional mapping of two-dimensional geological profiles: Using the preliminary draft of the cross geological profiles that have been pre-drawn in the two-dimensional map, the cross geological profile data of two different directions are mapped in three dimensions according to the control point elevation profile method.
[0008] (2) Preliminary judgment on the rationality of geological boundaries: In the three-dimensional modeling system, the overall spatial morphology and contact relationship of the geological boundaries of the intersecting geological profiles are judged to be coordinated and rational. The intersecting geological profiles with inconsistent overall spatial morphology and contact relationship are selected, and the geological boundary of one direction is returned from the three-dimensional modeling system to the two-dimensional map editing system in real time. The position of the geological boundary of all geological profiles in the other direction at the intersection with the current profile is marked on the current profile with a short horizontal line.
[0009] (3) Preliminary modification of geological boundaries: Modify the geological boundaries in step (2) in the two-dimensional map compilation system, map the modified geological boundaries to the three-dimensional modeling system for dynamic display, and repeat step (2) until the geological boundaries on all intersecting geological profiles are coordinated and reasonable as a whole.
[0010] (4) Review the consistency of the lines of the cross geological profiles: Use the three-dimensional modeling system to check the consistency of the lines of the cross geological profiles that have been initially coordinated and reasonable in steps (2) and (3). Return and calculate the elevation difference of the same attribute stratigraphic boundary and the same attribute fault boundary at the intersection of the geological profiles. If the obtained elevation difference exceeds the preset allowable error range, the corresponding geological profile is returned from the three-dimensional modeling system to the two-dimensional map compilation system for modification. After modification, it is linked back to the three-dimensional modeling system in real time to ensure that the elevation difference of the geological boundary at the intersection of all geological profiles in the two directions does not exceed the set accuracy error range.
[0011] (5) Add control points to improve accuracy: In the 3D modeling system, check the overall coordinated and reasonable cross geological profiles after the consistency check in step (4), and check whether there are control points within the specified range of the intersection of geological boundaries. If there are control points within the specified range of the intersection of geological boundaries, transfer them to the intersection of geological boundaries; if there are no control points within the specified range of the intersection of geological boundaries, add control points at the intersection of the corresponding geological boundaries.
[0012] (6) Automatic correction of geological profile: In the three-dimensional modeling system, the geological boundary after step (5) is taken as the main direction profile and the other geological profile as the secondary direction profile according to the regional geological conditions. The three-dimensional modeling system automatically captures the control points at the intersection of the secondary direction geological profile and uniformly translates them to the control points at the intersection of the main direction geological profile, so that the elevation error of the two intersection profiles at the intersection is zero.
[0013] The coordinates of the two ends of the cross geological profile in step (1) are: query the coordinates of the starting point of the top of the cross geological profile (X1, Y1) in the two-dimensional map editing system, and record the starting point map coordinates and the corresponding three-dimensional space real coordinates (X1', Y1', H1') in the configuration file. Query the coordinates of the ending point of the top of the cross geological profile (X2, Y2) in the same way, and record the ending point map coordinates and the corresponding three-dimensional space real coordinates (X2', Y2', H2') in the configuration file. Import the configuration file and the cross geological profile together into the three-dimensional modeling system so that the coordinates of the two-dimensional profile map are mapped into the three-dimensional space, resulting in a three-dimensional profile containing real coordinates.
[0014] In step (2), when returning from the 3D modeling system to the 2D map editing system, the idea of using control points to cut the profile is adopted. That is, after selecting any geological boundary line on the profile in the 3D modeling system, the system will generate a 2D projection surface according to the direction of the selected geological boundary line. Other geological boundaries on the current profile will be projected onto the 2D surface, thereby achieving the purpose of returning from 3D to 2D in real time.
[0015] In step (4), the 3D modeling system judges the elevation difference of the same attribute stratigraphic boundary and the same attribute fault boundary according to the preset accuracy error range, and returns the corresponding geological profile with the elevation difference exceeding the accuracy error range to the 2D map compilation system for subsequent modification.
[0016] In step (5), the specified range error accuracy at the intersection of geological boundaries of a geological profile with a scale of 1:2000 is less than 2 meters; and the specified range error accuracy at the intersection of geological boundaries of a geological profile with a scale of 1:10000 is less than 10 meters.
[0017] In step (6), the control points at the intersection of the two geological profiles are uniformly translated based on the geological profile in one direction using the three-dimensional modeling system to eliminate elevation errors.
[0018] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the cross-geological profile boundary adjustment method based on real-time linkage of two and three dimensions provided by the present invention draws the initial draft of the cross-geological profile in the two-dimensional map editing system, imports the cross-geological profile into the three-dimensional modeling system, judges the overall coordination of the geological boundary through the three-dimensional modeling system, and makes real-time modifications in the two-dimensional map editing system. Because this method dynamically adjusts the geological profile boundary through real-time linkage of two and three dimensions, the method and software provided by the present invention greatly reduce the difficulty of modifying and adjusting the cross-geological profile, improves work efficiency, and ensures the accuracy of modeling work.

[0028] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0029] The present invention provides a method for adjusting the boundary of intersecting geological profiles based on real-time linkage in two and three dimensions, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes at least the following steps:
[0030] (1) Three-dimensional mapping of two-dimensional geological profiles: Using the pre-drawn draft of the cross geological profile in the two-dimensional map, the cross geological profile data of two different directions are three-dimensionally mapped according to the control point elevation profile method; this step is to convert the already drawn cross geological profile draft into a three-dimensional mapping, and this application does not involve how to draw the two-dimensional cross geological profile draft.
[0031] In this embodiment, the coordinates of the two endpoints of the intersecting geological profile in step (1) are as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in the 2D map editing system, query the coordinates (X1, Y1) of the starting point of the top of the intersecting geological profile on the drawing paper, and record the starting point coordinates and their corresponding 3D space coordinates (X1', Y1', H1') in the configuration file. The configuration file is stored in a TXT text file on the computer. Following the same steps, query the coordinates (X2, Y2) of the ending point of the top of the intersecting geological profile on the drawing paper, and record the ending point coordinates and their corresponding 3D space coordinates (X2', Y2', H2') in the configuration file. Import the configuration file and the intersecting geological profile together into the 3D modeling system, mapping the 2D profile drawing coordinates to 3D space to obtain a 3D profile containing the actual coordinates. Specifically, as shown... Figure 4 and 5 As shown.
[0032] (2) Preliminary assessment of the rationality of geological boundaries: The spatial morphology and contact relationships of the intersecting geological profiles and boundaries are assessed using a 3D modeling system to determine their overall consistency and rationality. Figure 6 As shown, select intersecting geological profiles with inconsistent overall spatial morphology and contact relationships. Transfer the geological boundary of one direction from the 3D modeling system to the 2D map editing system in real time. Mark the intersection of the geological boundary of all geological profiles in the other direction with the current profile with a short horizontal line on the current profile. The inconsistencies in overall spatial morphology and contact relationships of intersecting geological profiles are determined by the geologists themselves. This step is a preliminary screening to identify obvious errors in the geological boundaries of the intersecting geological profiles.
[0033] In step (2), when returning from the 3D modeling system to the 2D map editing system, the idea of using control points to cut the profile is adopted. That is, after selecting any geological boundary line on the profile in the 3D modeling system, the system will generate a 2D projection surface according to the direction of the selected geological boundary line. Other geological boundaries on the current profile will be projected onto the 2D surface, thereby achieving the purpose of returning from 3D to 2D in real time.
[0034] (3) Preliminary modification of geological boundaries: Modify the geological boundaries in step (2) in the two-dimensional map compilation system, map the modified geological boundaries to the three-dimensional modeling system for dynamic display, and repeat step (2) until the geological boundaries on all intersecting geological profiles are coordinated and reasonable as a whole.
[0035] (4) Review the consistency of the lines of the intersecting geological profiles: Using the 3D modeling system, check the consistency of the lines of the intersecting geological profiles that have been initially coordinated and reasonable in steps (2) and (3), return and calculate the elevation difference of the same attribute stratigraphic boundary and the same attribute fault boundary at the intersection of the geological profiles, such as Figure 7As shown, if the obtained elevation difference exceeds the preset allowable error range, the corresponding geological profile will be returned from the 3D modeling system to the 2D map editing system for modification. After modification, it will be linked back to the 3D modeling system in real time to ensure that the elevation difference of all geological profiles in the two directions at the geological boundary at the intersection does not exceed the set accuracy error range.
[0036] In step (4), the 3D modeling system judges the elevation difference of the same attribute stratigraphic boundary and the same attribute fault boundary according to the preset accuracy error range, and returns the corresponding geological profile with the elevation difference exceeding the accuracy error range to the 2D map compilation system. The accuracy error is set according to the preset value required for actual use.
[0037] (5) Add control points to improve accuracy: In the 3D modeling system, check the overall coordinated and reasonable cross-geological profiles that have passed the consistency check in step (4), such as... Figure 8 As shown, the process involves checking if a control point exists within a specified area at the intersection of geological boundaries. If a control point exists within the specified area at the intersection, it is moved to the intersection. If no control point exists within the specified area at the intersection, a control point is added at the intersection. This step saves control point resources by checking if a control point exists at the intersection of geological boundaries and moving it there if so. If no control point exists within the specified area, a new control point is added for control purposes.
[0038] The specified range in step (5) is selected according to the actual situation in actual use. In this embodiment, the specified range error accuracy at the intersection of geological boundaries of a geological profile with a scale of 1:2000 is less than 2 meters, so the accuracy range here is 0 to 2 meters; the specified range error accuracy at the intersection of geological boundaries of a geological profile with a scale of 1:10000 is less than 10 meters, so the accuracy range here is 0 to 10 meters.
[0039] (6) Automatic correction of geological profiles: In the 3D modeling system, the geological boundaries processed in step (5), such as... Figure 9 As shown, based on the regional geological conditions, geologists designate one geological profile as the primary profile and the other as the secondary profile. They use a 3D modeling system to automatically capture the control points at the intersection of the secondary geological profile and uniformly translate them to the control points at the intersection of the primary geological profile, so that the elevation error between the primary and secondary cross profiles at the intersection is zero.
[0040] In step (6), the control points at the intersection of the geological profiles in one direction are uniformly translated using the three-dimensional modeling system based on the geological profile in one direction. After the operations in steps (1) to (5), the remaining elevation difference can be regarded as an error, and the control points are uniformly translated to eliminate the elevation error.
