Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of geological technology, specifically to an intelligent fusion system for multi-source heterogeneous geological data and an automatic three-dimensional solid model construction system. Background Technology

[0002] As mineral resource exploration extends to deeper and concealed ore bodies, 3D geological modeling and metallogenic prediction have become core technologies in modern mineral exploration. Constructing high-precision, high-fidelity 3D geological entity models is the foundation for quantitative resource evaluation, mine design and mining, and numerical simulation of geological processes. However, the current process of converting multi-source heterogeneous geological data into 3D entity models that can be directly used for advanced analysis and simulation still faces many technical bottlenecks: geological data sources are wide-ranging and vary significantly in scale and accuracy; existing technologies lack a unified intelligent fusion framework, data fusion relies on human experience, resulting in low efficiency and poor repeatability; mainstream 3D geological modeling software is still mainly based on human-computer interaction, with core processes relying on manual operation by experts, resulting in low levels of automation and intelligence, and algorithms struggle to handle complex structures, requiring extensive manual repair; traditional modeling output focuses on geometric visualization, which is insufficient to meet the stringent requirements of advanced numerical analysis for model water tightness, mesh quality, and attribute partitioning, creating a gap in the conversion from visualized models to computable models; existing general modeling techniques do not fully integrate metallogenic knowledge, lack quantitative characterization and fusion mechanisms for key metallogenic thematic information, and are unable to support machine learning for metallogenic potential assessment.
