Terrain Services

The terrain services sample illustrates how LuciadRIA supports streaming and visualization of worldwide high-resolution terrain. Imagery is draped over the terrain for a realistic 3D experience.

There are two layers:

  • An Elevation layer, which is visualized as 3D terrain
  • A Aerial imagery layer with detailed imagery in San Francisco and Los Angeles
Both layers use data provided by a LuciadFusion server that is available online for sample purposes only.

See FusionTileSetModel and RasterTileSetLayer on how to add terrain data to your map.

The height read-out makes use of the height service if it is available. If not, height data of the model is used.

If the LOS service is enabled, you have access to two additional layers:

  • An LOS circle layer, which highlights the radius where the LOS is calculated
  • A LOS data layer, which shows the output of the LOS service

The LOS service provides a visibility calculation from a person's point of view. The calculation is based on a digital terrain model. The result of the calculation provides information on what may be visible when looking around from the given location. Each color represents the minimum height range a person or object needs to be in to be visible. Actual values and colors used by the service to interpret the result are available in a legend.
