Hi Jason , Thanks, after SVN update the problem is resolved. The another issue i just came across is that images with single band(Gray) can not be loaded. Looking at the code of ReaderWriterGDAL.cpp it seems that the image with the single band are not handled. Is it intentional or its just that you have not come across single channel raster image ?

Re: [osg-users] osgEarth - terrain on demand
Hi Robert, Glad to hear that things are working well for you! The osgearth_seed application simply runs through a series of tile keys and tries to load them through the cache defined in the .earth file. If no cache is defined in the .earth file, then there really isn't anything for osgearth_seed to do, so it just exits early. I tried to add some support for normalzing the elevations of adjacent TerrainTiles in the TerrainTileEdgeNormalizerUpdateCallback class. It seems to work well, but can be kind of slow depending on how fast you zooming around. Are you seeing gaps between terrain tiles of the same LOD? We don't currently do any texel normalization of the images, but that would be a welcome addition to osgTerrain indeed. I'm curious as to how you were thinking of going about stitching together the adjacent tiles and if there would be a better way that through the update callback. Thanks!

Re: [osg-users] osgEarth - terrain on demand
Hi Rahul, Happy to hear that the GDAL plugin is working for you now. The GDAL plugin is currently in its infancy, so it doesn't have support for anything other than RGB and RGBA datasets right now. It shouldn't be too difficult to add support for single channel raster images like the current OSG GDAL plugin does. I'll add the support for single channel raster images as a Trac Ticket. If you want to take a stab at it, feel free:) Thanks, Jason On Mon, Jan 26, 2009 at 8:16 AM, Rahul Jain rah...@vizexperts.com wrote: Hi Jason , Thanks, after SVN update the problem is resolved.

Re: [osg-users] osgEarth - terrain on demand
Hi Robert, Indeed, you do need to set up a cache in the earth file in order to seeding to work. (It shouldn't crash of course - that is a bug.) There are two examples of how to set up caching in the tests directory: simple_caching.earth shows a single, map-level cache advanced_caching.earth show how to override caching props at the source level. Also, you can read up on cache configuration on the wiki here: http://wush.net/trac/osgearth/wiki/EarthFileCaching Glenn Waldron : Pelican Mapping : http://pelicanmapping.com : +1.703.652.4791 On Sat, Jan 24, 2009 at 4:53 AM, Robert Osfield robert.osfi...@gmail.comwrote: Hi Jason, I've just done an svn update and osgEarth now compiles and installs under Linux ;-) Running osgearth_seed I get a seg fault, perhaps associated with me not configuring a cache... osgearth_seed tests/google_imagery.earth Warning: Image Google maps satellite imagery has no cache.

Re: [osg-users] osgEarth - terrain on demand
Hi Glenn, That's right J-S. osgEarth never actually writes any terrain geometry to disk. Rather, it generates terrain tiles at run time as you navigate the scene. The only relationship to VPB is that they both use osgTerrain. OK, that's much clearer. Very interesting. If terrain is never written to disk though, won't there be lots of effort re-done over and over, say in multiple runs of the software where the user goes over the same areas? You could probably cache generated terrain to disk since I guess the Earth changes only seldom :-) I guess you generate low LODs first so that the user gets to see something at least, and then refine as time goes by... What kind of time can you expect to get good detail, and can you move about freely while the updates are progressing? This sounds a bit like my Masters project, where you could move around a scene and move/deform objects, and the high-quality lighting would update progressively without ever stopping interaction.

I guess you generate low LODs first so that the user gets to see something at least, and then refine as time goes by... What kind of time can you expect to get good detail, and can you move about freely while the updates are progressing? Time to bring in new subtiles depends entirely on the data source and its composition. Once the data is cached though, the speed is really not much different than with a VPB database (not that we've actually measured it.) But yes, osgEarth uses the standard PagedLOD, osgTerrain, and ReaderWriter plugin mechanisms, so background paging works just as with a pre-generated terrain.

Re: [osg-users] osgEarth - terrain on demand
Hi Glenn, The way you've packaged this technology is impressive. I'm not sure what could be easier than osgviewer myFile.earth. I asked about comparison to Minerva (and I should have included ossimPlanet in that question) because I am genuinely interested in how open-source projects market themselves, and how the barrier-to-entry can make a big difference in long-term adoption. Also, while Minerva uses OSG to draw, it's underlying tiling engine is not based on osgDB::DatabasePager. It used to be, but we ran into some problems that were specific to our application and had to roll our own dynamic tiles. If you've had similar difficulties, or see them over the horizon, I am interested in discussing this further with you. Feel free to email me directly if you prefer.

Re: [osg-users] osgEarth - terrain on demand
Hi Rafa, osgEarth renders each image layer in a separate texture unit and uses multi-texturing to apply them at run time. So, you can adjust each layer's appearance, visibility and blending by tweaking the texture attributes. This approach is of course limited to your available texture units. We have plans to incorporate additional techniques including run-time image compositing and multi-pass rendering. Adding and removing sources dynamically is not something we've tried yet, though I believe the architecture will readily support it. It's on the list. I saw your post the other day about OSG Virtual Planets, and it looks impressive. I plan to take a closer look when I get a chance!

Re: [osg-users] osgEarth - terrain on demand

So, you can adjust each layer's appearance, visibility and blending by tweaking the texture attributes. This approach is of course limited to your available texture units. We have plans to incorporate additional techniques including run-time image compositing and multi-pass rendering. We have the same approach of the use of multitexturing, and we also have plans to incorporate multi-pass rendering :) I think the path is similar! :) Adding and removing sources dynamically is not something we've tried yet, though I believe the architecture will readily support it. It's on the list. We are doing a major refactor to support a LayerManager class for our Terrains, so we can for example share layers between different terrains, or the whole LayerManager. Of course all our requirements are from the gvSIG project and the fact to support their data model. I will be following osgEarth evolution. I saw your post the other day about OSG Virtual Planets, and it looks impressive. I plan to take a closer look when I get a chance! Thanks, maybe we can merge efforts, there are lots of open source GIS applications outside that the use of 3D will push them up! :). Rafa.
