I’m new here and hope I’m posting to the right place…
I have a dataset created by SAS with points within the field of view of several cameras that are geo-referenced by latitude, longitude and altitude. The range of points roughly covers the state of New Mexico. Each point has a numerical value (k) associated with it that represents the number of cameras that hold that point in their combined field of view. I wish to visualize the point cloud by color coding the k values . How should I format the data for uploading to Cesium? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
This might fit into different categories. One might be “Cesium ion”, for the question about the right format for the data and the upload. The other one could be “CesiumJS” (or whatever rendering engine you want to use) for the visualization of these attributes. However, a first pass can probably be done here:
Is there any option to convert this into a LAS file? This is the only format that is currently accepted for point cloud tiling - see Point Clouds – Cesium . If this is possible, then it might also be possible to employ some of the metadata of LAS to apply per-point styling. The functionality here has recently been extended (see Preserving More Metadata for Point Clouds Using 3D Tiles – Cesium )
