Multi-point Statistics, Algorithm and Simulation Analysis

Compared with the traditional geostatistics based on variogram model, multiple-point simulation not only can be perfectly applied to the modeling of geographical objects which have complex geometry structure, but also has faster speed in simulating. This paper discussed the fundamental principle of multiple-point geostatistics and its simulation algorithms (SNESIM), and compared to improve simulation algorithms. The conceptual arguments are further substantiated by an example in third section. The efficiencies of various improved algorithms are also compared in this example and some suggestions are followed. We then conclude our paper with a summary and give potential applications of multiple-point simulation to remote sensing in section 4.
