Abstract :
We present the visualization and modeling techniques used in a case study to build feature-based computational models from geophysical data. Visualization was used to inspect the quality of the interpretation of the geophysical data. We describe the geophysical data graphical representation used to support rapid rendering and to enhance the perception differences between the interpretation of the data and the data itself. In addition, we present the modeling techniques used to convert the geophysical data into a feature-based computational model suitable for use by a numerical simulation package
