Hi, Robert.

I will put a small sample up and PM you a link . 
Thanks for taking time to look at this.


Cheers,
Colin

Re: [osg-users] [vpb] VPB: Cell centers misalignment?

Hi Colin,

I can't do anything without being able to reproduce the issue.  Could
you provide a small set of data that reproduces the issue, and details
on your VPB/OSG versions, GDAL versions.

Thanks,
Robert.

 Hi,
 I'm currently battling the same issue with VPB. But with a much higher 
 resolution data set , in the order of 12.5cm res terrain and 4cm imagery. 
 When viewed in other 3d software under WGS84 projection the terrain and 
 aerials line up 100% - however once passed through to VPBmaster the terrain 
 and aerials have some huge reprojection issues. The terrain has an offset of 
 up to 1m in places horizontally - this is very apparent because the terrain 
 is for a city scene and the footpaths have a 12.5cm vertical step in them.
 Along with the offset the terrain also no longer follows straight lines 
 (typical curb line between two corners) - and meanders back and forth 
 creating a jaggered edge.
 This has only just occured since we moved over to a Linux box so I'm 
 wondering if the GDAL's are at fault - our programmers currently looking into 
 it.
 Sorry I couldn't be of more help , but you are not alone on this one.

 Cheers,
 Colin

  I spoke with Robert about it, and the consensus is that the code in there may 
not be
100% correct. There's a #define in VPB's SourceData.cpp called 
SHIFT_RASTER_BY_HALF_CELL.
AFAIK, it's not on by default. I don't think it will solve things, because it 
seems to be
applied universally whereas I think it should probably only be applied to 
raster imagery,
not raster DEM data.

  Robert couldn't recall off the top of his head who had added the
SHIFT_RASTER_BY_HALF_CELL option, and I haven't dug through subversion to see.

  I suspect this is biting more people than realize it, and it should be fixed. 
I don't
have anyone who is willing to fund the work to track this down, isolate it and 
fix it, but
if someone is concerned about it and willing to step up to sponsor work on it, 
I think it
is fixable. For most people, the error margin is too small to worry about.

  I'd be curious if you find it is related to a specific Linux/GDAL, as I don't 
think
that's the case myself.

 Cheers,
 Colin
