Research on Automatically Generating Method for Three-Dimension Virtual Model of Buoy Based on S-57 Chart Data

With appearance of variety kinds of three-dimension buoy application system, the design and production of three-dimension virtual model of buoy is increasingly becoming an important and tedious work. Artificial modeling way adopted in the past is inefficient, and the light quality is difficult to achieve. The paper puts forward automatically generating method for three-dimension virtual model of buoy based on S-57 chart data (AGM for short), and describes extraction and analysis of buoy data from S-57 chart data, automatically generation of three-dimension buoy model and the flashing animation of buoy light quality in detail, and finally gives the experimental data and results.
