Abstract

The cross section is the basic data for building 3D geological models. It is inefficient to draw a large number of cross sections to build an accurate model. This paper reports the use of multi-source and heterogeneous geological data, such as geological maps, gravity and aeromagnetic data, by a conditional generative adversarial network (CGAN) and implements an intelligent generation method of cross sections to overcome the problem of inefficient modeling data based on CGAN. Intelligent generation of cross sections and 3D geological modeling are carried out in three different areas in Liaoning Province. The results show that: (a) the accuracy of the proposed method is higher than the GAN and Variational AutoEncoder (VAE) models, achieving 87%, 45% and 68%, respectively; (b) the 3D geological model constructed by the generated cross sections in our study is consistent with manual creation in terms of stratum continuity and thickness. This study suggests that the proposed method is significant for surmounting the difficulty in data processing involved in regional 3D geological modeling.
