Three-Dimensional Scene Modeling of Ship Handling Simulator Based on ECT

Visual scene system is essential for the ship handing simulator, influencing the reality as well as the result of ship maneuvering training. Three-dimensional database modeling is the foundation and key of the research on visual scene system. This paper discusses the basic methods for three-dimensional visual simulation modeling and the model optimization principles, explains visual database modeling method based on ECT, and then creates ownship as well as the three-dimensional scene database of Haibin quay, in Zhanjiang city for the simulator. Finally, the whole model database is imported into EPX for rendering.
