Which is a better approach for real time incremental tiling and tracking with czml
COnverting ODM object files to b3dm tiles or using odm’s dsm.tif and orthophoto to generate .terrain and .png tiles and then rendering them on CesiumJS?
Hey @Haadi_M1 ,
To best answer your question, could you elaborate on what you are trying to achieve/your use case?
From the information you have provided, it sound like you have an .obj from Open Drone Map, and you want to decide between converting this to either 3D tiles/b3dm or a .terrain and .png? I am not sure how CZML works into this, but for 3D tiles vs .terrain and images, it would depend on what the .obj is of. Typically if it is 3D object such as buildings, bridges and other structures you would choose 3D Tiles. If it’s terrain of a small scale you could use 3D Tiles also but for most terrain applications, especially covering a large area, I would recommend .terrain and imagery.
I hope this answers your question, cheers!
OpenDroneMap gives me 3 things .obj ,dsm.tif and orthophoto.tif from a folder of drone images
I have 2 options
1.Convert .obj to 3d tiles
2.Convert dsm.tif to .terrain files and orthophoto.tif to .png tiles and render both of them on cesiumjs globe
Thanks for the clarification, did you decide on which method based on my above advice?
I have decided to go ahead with .terrain and imagery tiles
