[osg-users] Two VirtualPlanetBuilder problems

2008-11-20 Thread Kramer, Robert W
I have a very large imagery set (~1 million files).  When running
VirtualPlanetBuilder 0.9.9, I am limited to about 482 -t imagery files
for a given vpbmaster command before I get ERROR 4: Failed to open file
/mp2/osg/file482.tif for each -t file listed after the 482nd file
listed in the script and the *.ive files are not created.

The command I am using is: vpbmaster --PagedLOD --geocentric --terrain
-e 30.00 20.00 1.00 1.00 -o 30_20.ive
Running with the -t option pointing to the directory results in the same
error.  What do I need to open up to allow more files to be processed
per vpbmaster run?

Secondly, a test of a small VPB database of 1.34GB of CADRG imagery
produced 14.941GB of *.ive files using VPB 0.9.7 in 23 minutes time.
The same test with VPB Version 0.9.9 produced 14.826GB of *.ive files in
32 minutes.  I was not expecting the newer VPB to only produce a tiny
(1%) amount of compression, while taking about 40% more time.
Furthermore, I'm perplexed that my resulting output files are 11 times
the input imagery (1m black and white Controlled Imagery Base).  Using
the --compressed option made no difference to the resulting *.ive sizes.
I require all levels of detail, so expect some increase in database
size, but can anybody help me reduce this to a smaller multiple as I'm
running out of disk space!  What do I need to do to turn on Heightfield
compression, for example.

[osg-users] VPB 1.0 schedule and database size improvements

2008-09-26 Thread Kramer, Robert W
What is the latest projection of a VPB 1.0 stable release, and will it
be tied to OSG 2.6.0 or a more recent OSG version?  For various reasons,
I can only build from the *zip files, and the latest on the website is
VPB 0.9.7.  I realize development is going strong now, but need to know
for scheduling purposes for my apps.

Also, has anybody tested how much smaller (or faster) the resulting
*.ive files will be with heightfield compression (is there a significant
reason to wait until 1.0 comes out to build multi-TB databases)?

Re: [osg-users] Link Open Flight statically (Kramer, Robert W)

2008-01-31 Thread Kramer, Robert W
Nobody responded to my earlier question three weeks ago, so I'm
reposting:

Can OpenFlight be linked statically? I compiled the osgstaticviewer and
it does not read *.flt files. The osgviewer that uses the shared object
version seems to work fine. I guess my question is--which plugins do I
need to register in my application and which global variables need to be
specified in order to link the openflt library statically?

Any help is appreciated!

Re: [osg-users] osgdem and CADRG dateline holes

2007-11-05 Thread Kramer, Robert W
Aha.  osgdem Version 1.2
I am downloading VirtualPlanetBuilder 0.9.1 to see if that fixes the
problem.
By the way, do you happen to know if there are any OSG training events
come up?  There isn't any useful information on the Virginia or Italy
training courses at:
http://opensourceretreat.com/courses/category/openscenegraph/

Thanks,

 Hi Robert,

 Which version of osgdem are you using?

 Robert.
