| description | With the development of 3D geological modeling, implicit modeling methods have gradually gained popularity. However, existing potential field methods cannot directly represent unconformable geological interfaces. In response, an implicit modeling method based on a potential vector field was proposed, which generates geological surface models through the potential vector field method and generalized marching cubes algorithm, and visualizes the modeling results. An experiment was conducted on the study area of a certain mineral deposit, and a 3D geological surface model with consistency and no topological errors was established, demonstrating the effectiveness of the method for the surface modeling of unconformity geological interfaces. |
