ESRI DeckRenderer and ground elevation #4483

Open mogmog opened 4 years ago

mogmog commented 4 years ago

I have been experimenting with the ESRI DeckRenderer in /deck.gl/examples/get-started/pure-js/arcgis/

It works really nicely. One thing i have found is that when you set ESRI to use elevation data by setting the 'ground' parameter (https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/api-reference/esri-Ground.html) , the deckgl layers float above the ESRI world in an incorrect way - see here.

@damix911 Is there a way to access ArcGIS's camera elevation in this case? We can use the position viewState to add an offset to deck's camera.

I encountered the same problem. I tried to modify viewState's zoom bearing pitch in code , but no change. And i read the code of deck-renderer.js, there have been modifications to the zoom bearing pitch property.

I think it could be done by somehow getting a reference to the ground layer and creating an elevation sampler https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/api-reference/esri-Ground.html#createElevationSampler . I don't think it can be done by using the camera only. I'll try to do it and also get in touch with the 3D team.

DeckRenderer is still ~undocumented~ documented as experimental because we are actually working to solve some camera positioning issues. Even when there is no ground layer you may get a slighly misaligned overlay, so be careful and I would definitely not recommend it for production yet.

Thank you for your report and for trying this out!

I am out typing from my phone, I will give it a shot as soon as I get home.

Here is a repro: https://codepen.io/dawken/pen/ZEQLjEp

Here is a sample on how to use the elevation sampler: https://codepen.io/dawken/pen/xxZgzyd?editors=1000 (click on the map to sample a value in meters that will appear in the upper right corner of the screen).

I am going to try to apply a correction computed with the sampler and see if the parallax effect goes away.

I'm experiencing the same issue. Has there been any progress on this? Any updates or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.
