Murray,

Excellent! I'm glad you got things working...

Thanks, Shayne.

It was the --geocentric flag missing from the osgdem that was messing
everything up.  Once this was fixed, I also had to correct the way that I
was positioning the observer eyepoint to account for the geocentric nature
of the terrain (I now use
EllipsoidModel::computeLocalToWorldTransformFromLatLonHeight() to generate a
matrix that is used to position the eyepoint, rather than using lat/lon
information directly).

        Just a few questions from your code...
        
        1) I noticed that your osgdem command isn't using --geocentric in
the
        command line. Are you building a geocentric database?
        2) Are your lat lon values in degrees or radians? The
        convertLatLongHeightToXYZ() method requires lat, lon radians.
        3) Why is your traversal mask -1 in the computeHeightAboveTerrain()?
Try
        removing the -1 from this call...

        Hi All,
        
        It's been a while.  Good to be back.
        
        We have created a paged terrain database using VPB/OsgDem with
        geo-referenced GeoTIFF-based elevation data using the command:
        
        osgdem -d honolulu.tif --no-terrain-simplification -l 16 -o
        honolulu.ive
        
        This creates a very detailed terrain database against which we'd
like to
        perform HAT queries.
        
        We build a simple scene graph using the following lines of code:
        
        osg::Node *wTerrainNode = osgDB::readNodeFile( "honolulu.ive" );
        osg::Group *wRootNode = new osg::Group();
        
        wRootNode->addChild( wTerrainNode );
        
        osgViewer::Viewer *wViewer = new osgViewer::Viewer();
        wViewer->setUpViewerInWindow( 100, 100, 800, 600 );
        wViewer->setSceneData( wRootNode );
        wViewer->realize();
        
        osgSim::HeightAboveTerrain wHatTester;
        osg::CoordinateSystemNode *wCsn =
        dynamic_cast<osg::CoordinateSystemNode*>(wTerrainNode);
        wCsn->setEllipsoidModel( new osg::EllipsoidModel() );
        
        We then use the following code to query HAT (in our main loop):
        
        wCsn->getEllipsoidModel()->convertLatLongHeightToXYZ( wLat, wLon,
        wHeight, wX, wY, wZ );
        
        // where wLat, wLon, wAlt are dynamic, valid values within the
        terrain area being populated by our flight model
        
        double wHat = wHatTester.computeHeightAboveTerrain( wTerrainNode,
        osg::Vec3d( wX, wY, wZ ), -1 );
        
        In each case wHat remains a constant value consistent with height
above sea
        level (i.e., no hits are being generated against the terrain).  We
are also
        visualizing our observer position with the same lat/lon/alt values
and
        observe a valid, correlated position, so we know that the terrain is
loading
        and that the lat/lon/values being used for the HAT query are
reasonable.
        
        Any thoughts as to why we're not getting any hits?
        
        Thank you,
        
        Murray
