Oceanography survey and surveillance is an important application field in future ocean exploitation,which is based on autonomous underwater vehicle(AUV) and its measuring sensors;and one of the key technologies is vector modeling and visualization based on measuring data.Aiming at the measuring terrain data from multi-beam sonar,terrain vector modeling and visualization are studied,and the methods of sonar data processing,spatio-temporal registration and coordinates transformation are proposed.An improved Delaunay triangulation modeling algorithm is designed to set up the vector model of terrain,and a realistic expression method of 3D vector model is proposed on the OpenGL platform.Based on the multi-beam sonar terrain data from the AUV sea trial,which has the characteristics of discrete and redundant,all the above methods are tested and verified.Test results indicate that the methods designed in this paper are reasonable and feasible,which overcomes the weak points that multi-beam sonar could only provide discrete terrain elevation data and couldn't support the function of vector terrain data scanning.The advantage of continuous vector terrain data processing and visualization is very important for oceanographic survey and surveillance.
