A 3D Visualization Platform for Intelligent Submarine Cable Monitoring and Its Application

Abstract

Given the small land area and vast sea area of Zhoushan， the operation， maintenance and monitoring of submarine cables play a crucial part in the operation and maintenance of Zhoushan power grid. Especially important are the intelligent operation and maintenance monitoring and efficient early warning of transmission line projects. In the traditional submarine cable operation and maintenance process， two-dimensional monitoring platforms connecting multi-source data are mostly used to manually alert and drive away dangerous ships. Notwithstanding， the submarine cables are subject to damage by external forces， so the monitored data can not accurately restore the submarine cable information in real time. Therefore， the triangulation with linear interpolation is used to restore the measured data in 3D real-time visualization. Finally， the submarine cables are intelligently visualized and monitored in the monitoring system built by Unitiy3D engine， which can assist the monitoring system to explicitly display the 3D state of the submarine cables and take measures before faults.
