Study on the construction and application of 3d visualization platform for the yellow river basin

The 3D platform for the Yellow River Basin is an infrastructure for the construction of Digital Yellow River Programme. The platform inputs the Yellow River Basin visually, vividly and systematically into computer by adopting the advanced computer techniques, such as GIS (Geographical Information System), RS (Remote Sensing), 3D Modeling, Virtual Reality (VR) etc., and constructs virtual corresponding state for actual Yellow River basin, which is “3D Visualization Platform for the Yellow River Basin”. On the platform, the basin planning, management and multiple applicable systems can be developed and articulated, which is convenient for modeling, analyzing and studying the natural phenomena of the Yellow River, exploring the internal rule and providing powerful 3D visualized decision-making support environment for each plan in the Yellow River regulation, development and management.
