[osg-users] Massive Point Cloud rendering

2016-04-14 Thread Bruno Oliveira
Hello, I deal with huge point cloud data and I am rendering it the naive way (via VBO or display lists) However, I've seen software (e.g. Photoscan) do this via some kind of progressive loading (based probably on the distance to the points and point density). I think this is similar to pagedLOD b

​Bruno, I'm guessing you're dealing with geospatially-oriented point clouds. You should probably consider working with osgEarth, as it already has an infrastructure for indexing, paging/loading and rendering LIDAR geospatial point clouds. Here's a video of it in action: https://www.youtube.com/wat

Hi all, Just to be clear, what you're seeing in that video is a separate library for dealing with massive point clouds that we've developed here at Pelican Mapping. It works great with osgEarth (as you've seen in the videos) but it's not part of osgEarth itself. The point cloud library isn't cur

I found out what I was looking for, https://github.com/adasta/osgpcl However, this depends on octrees from PCL. I'll think on some alternative using OSG only. Does OSG implement anything like this? Robert: Thank you for your tips. I will make sure to be more specific in the following posts. Howe

I think it just converts LOD nodes to PagedLOD, but it doesn't index and spatialize data that isn't already. I don't know what organization the PLY loader puts on the data, so what you get is highly dependent on how the PLY loader constructs the scenegraph. ​ __
