Automatic visualization of 3-D geometry contained in online databases

摘要

In this paper, the application of the Virtual Reality Modelling Language (VRML) for efficient database visualisation is analysed. With the help of JAVA programming, three examples of automatic visualization from a database containing 3-D Geometry are given. The first example is used to create basic geometries. The second example is used to create cylinders with a defined start point and end point. The third example is used to process data from an old copper mine complex in Cheshire, United Kingdom. Interactive 3-D visualisation of all geometric data in an online database is achieved with JSP technology.
