Latest imagery has now been processed and is available here:

Abhishek, take a look and make sure everything looks as expected. I also created an index.json that simply contains a list of all the daily metadata files.

Thanks Mike. I tested our app by pointing to the .json(s) and the images at the mentioned URL and it is working fine.

Thanks for the update, Abhishek.

The new UI looks nice. I think I mentioned this before, but are you sure you want to keep the final flight location so the view is parallel to the curtain, instead of perpendicular so the viewer is looking at the curtain’s side?

Does the TODO section in your report include everything you have planned for the rest of the summer? If not, can you point us to the roadmap?

Hi Patrick,

Sorry, I missed it. I will make the change so that the fly-to-animation finishes with the curtain being perpendicular to the user.

The To-Do section in my report is for the tasks to be completed for the following week. I have put together the roadmap for this project as suggested.

Hello All,

Here is the Weekly Report 14 for this project.

Report: https://goo.gl/tmo8Ty

I have been looking into the issue of flipping of imagery. I isolated a profile that was being flipped and have observed that having multiple points in the position property made that profile flip, instead having only the start and end point made the profile be displayed correctly. I have not been able to find a logical explanation for this.

I have hosted both cases of this issue - using multiple points and only start and end point.
The start and end points are [-164.55555725097656, 2.952378511428833] and [-171.4447021484375, 32.56910705566406] respectively.

Here only the start and end points are used in the position property : http://abhishekvpotnis.me/data-curtains/flip-issue/flip0.html
Here all points(~100) have been used in the position property: http://abhishekvpotnis.me/data-curtains/flip-issue/flip1.html

I will be grateful, if someone here could shed some light on this issue.

Thanks for the update and the great work all summer. When exactly do you plan to do the outreach work so I can make sure we have some time to help?

Patrick

52

Thanks Patrick. I will be working on the video this week. The video would show a brief overview of how CALIPSO data is used, the current state of visualization of LiDAR data followed by my work this summer and its advantages. I also plan to include a screen-cast of the application demoing its features in the video.

I plan to have the video finalized by Wednesday. As my work progresses through this week, I will keep posting the updates here.

Hello All,

Here is the video, that I have made, for this project. Please give your feedback on this video.

Abhishek - excellent job with the video!

Is this its permanent url? Or do you plan to post it to YouTube? It doesn’t matter to me, I just want to know what url we should share.

Ryan/Abhishek - is this project ready to be added to the showcases on the Cesium website?

Thanks,

Patrick

56

Agreed, I think the video turned out well!

Otherwise Abhishek has made a final update to the code as of today - you're now able to toggle between day and night orbit tracks to more easily see the imagery. So I do believe it's ready to be showcased on the Cesium site but will defer to Abhishek for the final decision.

Ryan

Thanks Patrick, Ryan.

I have uploaded the video on Youtube. Here is the URL: https://youtu.be/72mUEVYizvU

@Patrick, Yes, the project is ready to be added on the Cesium website. I really enjoyed working on this project under Mike and Ryan, this summer. I would like to thank you, the entire Cesium team and my mentors for giving me this opportunity and guiding me throughout the course of this project.

Thanks and Regards,

Abhishek - thanks for the kind words. This project was organized and communicated well - definitely a GSoC success story.

I’ll contact you and Ryan separately about the showcase.
