Re: [osg-users] altitude terrain shading...

2009-01-18 Thread Gerwin de Haan
Hi Gordon,

We have many different point-cloud datasets from both terrestial and
aerial LiDAR scans, most of them in the range of ~20M points (some
with intensity values and/or with rgb values), but some sets total
over 2B points divided in tiles. I now build either a quad- or oct
tree datastructure with LODs that take a subset from each tile. The
results are promising and really have a different feel than 2.5D
terrains. I was surprised even a lot of people in the remote-sensing
field have never explored full 3D point clouds interactively (thanks
OSG!).

We're still in a prototyping stage though (python and osgswig help
:-),  and I am now experimenting with balancing point rendering size,
LOD levels and subsampling from pointsets in order to get "just
enough" points on-screen for a solid visual impression with a high
frame rate. Real framerates are difficult to give at this point, as
they are now really card and view dependent.

Currently, a scan of the whole of the Netherlands is in progress with
a minimum sampling of 10 xyz points per square meter (a 5 year
project). I am using a small subset of this now for experiments, but
hope to be able to provide smooth interactive exploration for the
whole of this scan.

If you like we can discuss more detailed aspects off the list. What is
your application / data for?

Gerwin

[osg-users] OpenThreads in OSG...

2009-01-18 Thread James Moliere
Hello,
I'm looking at documentation for OpenThreads and am wondering if
OpenThreads is anticipated library of the future in OSG?


When trying to download the latest version of OpenThreads, I get an
error...
>>>cvs -d :pserver:cvsgu...@openscenegraph.org:/cvs/openthreads co
OpenThreads
cvs [checkout aborted]: connect to openscenegraph.org(158.42.9.11):2401
failed: Connection timed out

Thanks!
James

The project switched to subversion (svn) some time ago

Not only that, but OpenThreads is now included in the OSG distribution.
See http://www.openscenegraph.org/svn/osg/OpenSceneGraph/trunk

Sigh, the webserver seems to down *again*
