Glass landslide: the 3D visualization makes study of landslide transparent and virtualized

As the global research topic, geological disasters have led to huge losses around the world yearly. In this paper, three-dimensional (3D) visualization is used as a technical method to build the 3D geological model of the HuangTuPo (HTP) landslide, and the 3D model of large field test base located in the HTP landslide, and the 3D regional geological model. These models make the landslide research digitized and transparent. Meanwhile, the preliminary studies were carried out: the comprehensive utilization of multiple scales and multiple categories of data-by "Double Center'', and the 3D data integration from region to point of disasters-by the component technology, and the transparent design and construction of disaster research-by 3D model shearing. Through these methods, the surface topography and the underground geological structure of landslide can be displayed as transparent as glass, and the virtual simulation on the results of underground engineering can be carried out in advance, providing guidance for engineering design and construction.
