Rapid visualization of geoscience data based on Surfer and its applications

In order to analyze the performance of different algorithms for data interpolation,an evaluation system is setup.Using the visual development tools-Surfer software that integrated in VB 6.0,12 kinds of interpolation methods can be used to implement data interpolation.Geosciences data,such as contour,three-dimensional,etc,can be displayed rapidly for different users;moreover,quantitative assessment of the results of interpolation can be achieved.Taken the average temperature of HuNan providence as an example,experiment results shows that the performance of interpolation algorithms differ with specific conditions.Meanwhile,spatial distribution and tendency of the data can be predicted and summarized from the obtained overlay chart.
