[osg-users] osgDEM usage...

[Tueller, Shayne R Civ USAF AFMC 519 SMXS/MXDEC]

Thanks to all who have replied to my inquiries thus far regarding osgdem
usage. Your input is much appreciated. 

I will take what's been suggested and make some more progress. I'm sure I'll
have more questions...

Regards,
-Shayne

Hi Shayne;

I think You should use image which has a georeferenced data. So if you
download images from osgdem wiki instroductions, it is normally getting
wrong results. I will fix the osgdem wiki page in a few days. The
instructions belongs for previous version of osgdem.

If you want to create terrain database with hight relief, first of all you
should an image which has a georeferenced data ( for example you can
download geospatial images from http://seamless.usgs.gov/ and dem files from
http://geoengine.nga.mil/geospatial/SW_TOOLS/NIMAMUSE/webinter/rast_roam.htm
l ) or you have to learn using gdal ( http://www.gdal.org/ ), especially
gdal_vrt ( http://www.gdal.org/gdal_vrttut.html ) to make add georeference
data to any image. 

For example you downloaded x.tif and its releated y.dem data from given web
pages. Then you can use this command;

osgdem -t x.tif -d y.dem -v 5.0 -so builde.source -o
database/sample_terrain.ive
osgdem -s build.source -l 4

Then you should have an terrain with height relief. This can be a bit
complex but you should search about osgdem from mail-list (
http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.openscenegraph.user/ ) and always
try to use georeferenced images.

Good Luck;
