ABSTRACT
The study of geological outcrops has seen recent improvements due to LiDAR technology, which allows for the creation of complex, high-resolution computational representations of geological terrains. It calls for suitable visualization strategies, that provide flexibility as well as timely intuitiveness. In this work we present our initial efforts to visually explore and annotate geological outcrops through multitouch, including a 3D navigation technique and horizon surface creation and edition.
