Support 3D Terrain Data #26

Open cglusky opened 6 years ago

cglusky commented 6 years ago

To make this a 4D experience - 3D Space and Time - then we need to support 3D data.

DTED, Digital Terrain Elevation Data. May go by other names in other places.

It appears NASA ASTER Missions now have DTED at 1 arc second (30m) for much of the globe.

I'm assuming this is taken care of inherently by the cesium 3d terrain sets?

cglusky commented 6 years ago

Not sure. There was some work done to ry to standardize things like buildings. Lost track.

Might need to abstract the title of the issue once i get more info.

fnoop commented 6 years ago

This is like organised squirreling.

cglusky commented 6 years ago

yep

@fnoop yes, it should be part of the data set used by cesium as far as i can tell. which i guess means we just need a way to query elevation data for whatever time and space you need.

here's the building 3d standard i was talking about... https://www.citygml.org/

path planning and safety checks on min/max altitude etc would be the use case.

cglusky commented 6 years ago

This could have a big impact on speed of adoption by removing some barriers. it can be hard to generate good 3D maps.

@cglusky I have a cesium.com beta account. The new thing for rendering cities and other details is 3D tiles. http://www.aero3dpro.com.au/adelaide_3D_city_model_2017 https://cesium.com/blog/2017/07/12/the-next-generation-of-3d-tiles/ Having a workflow to generate and serve 3D tiles from Maverick would be hugely useful

Cesium has its own terrain data, You can also compile your own for your own use, its a bit of a pain though. The buildings and such should be other 3D tiles not related to terrain.
