Semantic-driven dynamic integration of multi-LOD terrain and hydraulic objects for digital twin irrigation districts

Digital twin irrigation districts rely on stable multiscale 3D representation of terrain and hydraulic objects, but multi-LOD terrain transitions often cause floating, misalignment, and discontinuous dynamic behavior. Existing methods focus on static geo-metric alignment and lack semantic-aware dynamic constraint mechanisms across scales. This work proposes a semantically driven dynamic integration framework for multi-LOD terrain and hydraulic objects. We build a unified three-dimensional semantic model covering operational state, geometric form, and terrain dependency, then ex-tend LOD to a spatial constraint regulation mechanism. Differentiated strategies are designed for dynamic point, line, and surface objects via spatiotemporal mapping, pose constraints, and water-level-driven updating. Experiments in the Zhuluoba Irrigation District show that static channel boundary and centerline errors reach 0.343 m and 0.395 m, while dynamic point planimetric and elevation errors are 0.492 m and 0.245 m. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed framework can maintain relatively stable spatial–temporal consistency across different LOD levels in the investigated irrigation district.

Abstract

Digital twin irrigation districts rely on stable multiscale 3D representation of terrain and hydraulic objects, but multi-LOD terrain transitions often cause floating, misalignment, and discontinuous dynamic behavior. Existing methods focus on static geo-metric alignment and lack semantic-aware dynamic constraint mechanisms across scales. This work proposes a semantically driven dynamic integration framework for multi-LOD terrain and hydraulic objects. We build a unified three-dimensional semantic model covering operational state, geometric form, and terrain dependency, then ex-tend LOD to a spatial constraint regulation mechanism. Differentiated strategies are designed for dynamic point, line, and surface objects via spatiotemporal mapping, pose constraints, and water-level-driven updating. Experiments in the Zhuluoba Irrigation District show that static channel boundary and centerline errors reach 0.343 m and 0.395 m, while dynamic point planimetric and elevation errors are 0.492 m and 0.245 m. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed framework can maintain relatively stable spatial–temporal consistency across different LOD levels in the investigated irrigation district.
