Tracing fibrous objects such as well paths or channels through a dense 3-D volume is difficult in geologic/geophysical image analysis. Traditional methods involve detecting outlines of fibers in 2-D volume slices and reconstructing 3-D models from the 2-D information. This paper discusses using a virtual environment to solve this problem.
Virtual environments are interactive, head-referenced visual systems. When combined with stereoscopic visual and audio systems, they produce the illusion that you are inside a 3-D world (Figure 1).
Virtual environments create unique challenges. The most difficult is providing an intuitive method for navigating through space. Generally, virtual environments...
