3D Buildings in Cesium: Call for Data

[Patrick Cozzi]

Folks,

AGI is investigating adding 3D buildings to Cesium.  This has been a hot topic on the forum.  We're interested in your feedback on:

1) Input formats, e.g., shapefiles, CityGML, KML + COLLADA, PBF, and so on.

2) Freely available data, e.g., OSM, open government data, and so on.

3) Use cases

Thanks,

Patrick

Hello Patrik,


I have some interesting link for you, about 3D building modeling :

It is an italian blog, but Google Translate is a good help to understand   :)


BTW,  together with  SHP,  KML, Collada DAE,  can be very useful  the PLY  (binary or ascii)  textured, that is the triangle  saved format of many of  Structure from Motion 
photogrammetric aerial survey programs  ( like Bundler or PhotoScan ).

Patrik,


... also the  threejs  json  file can be useful  to store  3d buildings .
