[Proposal] Remove non-upstream potree CIN format support #2350

Open Desplandis opened 5 days ago

Desplandis commented 5 days ago

I propose the removal of support for the "non-upstream" Potree 1.x CIN format, in our effort to clean the itowns codebase.

Context

The CIN format appears to be a specific format introduced by a fork of PotreeConverter by Oslandia. Upstream Potree 1.x data formats includes BIN (that we also support), LAS and LAZ. Moreover this fork seems more of an experimentation and had no activity in the past seven years.

Note: our potree_25d is the only known use of this format, we should think of a replacement if we do not find the original source of data.
