Underwater Terrain Modeling Based on Unmanned Ship Data
It is of great significance to realize underwater terrain modeling based on the underwater three-dimen-sional coordinate data obtained by the unmanned ship.The paper introduces the main structure and working prin-ciple of the unmanned ship,uses the unmanned ship to measure an experimental body of water,and then conduct underwater modeling based on the 3D Analyst tool in ArcGIS software.Using the 3D Analyst tool in ArcGIS soft-ware,TIN can be created and converted into raster data by interpolation method.At last,it was supplemented by ArcSence software for 3D display.The experimental results show that the underwater modeling method introduced in the paper is effective.
