Abstract

Recently, interest of submarine mineral resources has been increasing from the depletion of land resources around the world and many countries are involving in submarine mineral resource exploration work. South Korea is also in progress of mineral exploration and relevant study to ensure the submarine mineral resources from around the Korean Peninsula. As a result, the submarine mineral resource exploration data have been increasing annually. A database and 2D GIS-based system have been constructed for the management of the data. However, submarine mineral resource exploration data is explored and created on the sea-bed. Consequently, the visual confirmation of the water levels and marine landform is important for high dimension analysis. Therefore, the major aims of this study are to collect marine landform data from around the Korean Peninsula and to develop 3 dimension GIS based system that is linked to the submarine mineral resource exploration data. In detail, marine landform data were acquired for the Korean Peninsula and they were interpolated into raster file format. The raster file was then processed to be easily used and was entered into an Oracle database. Based on this database, 3D expression and overlap function between marine landform data and submarine mineral resource exploration data were designed using ArcScene offered by the ESRI. After design, 3D GIS based expression system was developed. Confirmations of locations and changes in the submarine mineral resource exploration data based on 3D GIS are enabled to support the efficient application of the proposed system. It is expected that this system will be highly useful for estimating the reserves of mineral resources and for providing valuable information for economic evaluations.

최근 전 세계적인 육상자원의 고갈로 인하여 해저광물자원에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 우리나라도 한반도 주변 해역의 해저광물자원을 확보하기 위한 탐사와 연구가 진행되고 있다. 탐사의 결과로 매년 해저자원 탐사자료가 생성되고 있으며, 데이터베이스와 2차원 GIS 기반 시스템을 구축하여 데이터를 관리하고 있다. 하지만 해저자원 탐사자료는 해저면 하부를 탐사하기 때문에 해저자원 탐사자료의 고차원적 분석을 위해서는 수심과 해저 지형의 시각적 확인이 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 GIS를 이용하여 한반도 주변에 대한 해저 지형 데이터를 구축하고 이를 3차원화하여 해저자원 탐사자료와 연계하는 3차원 GIS 기반의 표출 시스템 개발에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 이를 위하여 한반도 주변 해역에 대한 수심 데이터를 획득하였고, 수심 데이터를 래스터 파일 형태로 보관하였다. 또한, 래스터 파일을 사용이 용이하도록 처리한 후 오라클에 구축하였다. 데이터베이스를 기반으로 ESRI사의 ArcScene을 이용하여 구축한 해저 지형 데이터의 3차원화와 해저자원 탐사자료 중첩 기능의 설계를 진행한 후, ArcObjects를 이용하여 시스템으로 구현하였다. 이러한 3차원 GIS를 이용한 해저자원 탐사자료의 활용은 해저 지형을 이용하여 탐사자료의 위치와 변화를 시각적으로 확인함으로써 탐사지역과 탐사자료에 대한 고차원적인 해석이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
