3D visual analysis of seabed on smartphone
This work provides a domain-specific tool for marine researchers or professionals to analyze seabed data on mobile devices, but it is incremental as it builds on an existing WebVRGIS platform.
The authors developed a 'virtual-seabed' platform for 3D visual analysis of seabed data on smartphones, based on a 'section-drilling' model to enable visualization and analysis in a 3D browser, presenting a thorough way to display such data with potential applications.
We create a 'virtual-seabed' platform to realize the 3D visual analysis of seabed on smartphone. The 3D seabed platform is based on a 'section-drilling' model, implementing visualization and analysis of the integrated data of seabed on the 3D browser on smartphone. Some 3D visual analysis functions are developed. This work presents a thorough and interesting way of presenting seabed data on smartphone, which raises many application possibilities. This platform is another practical proof based on our WebVRGIS platform.
