More Actions

[m-mohr]

Proposals for more actions (see #342):

• We could also add PMTiles via web-map-links extension and then link to https://protomaps.github.io/PMTiles/?url=...
• ArcGIS Online (if such an API is available) @cholmes
• Foursquare Studio @cholmes

For 3D STAC producers/consumers, it could also make sense to implement support for

• OGC 3D-Tiles
• Potree
• eventually single-mesh formats like gltf, obj
• or even gaussian-splats.

Edit:

• In case it's useful, Felt now supports more formats for loading data from url endpoints, not only XYZ but also WMS, ESRI FeatureServer, and all the file formats hosted at a url endpoint, see Felt doc Upload Anything - URL section
• quick question, at the moment, these actions appear as buttons linking to the suited viewers corresponding to the item format. Has it been already discussed a way to embed these viewers as iframes within stac-browser? Would that be too ugly to add these as a third tab (replacing Map/Thumbnail component)?

Potree/COPC

Example for potree to represent potree or copc tilesets can be based on Darren Wiens potree viewer implementation, which takes dataset url as urlParam:

// color type can be among rgba, elevation, color, elevation, etc
// potree_cloud_js_url = https://potree.org/potree/pointclouds/vol_total/cloud.js
potree_darren_wiens_url = `https://mpc-copc-viewer.netlify.app/?r=${potree_cloud_js_url}&c=rgba`

OGC 3D Tiles

Example for cesium to represent OGC 3D-Tiles, via the Cesium Sandcastle:

tileset_url = 'tileset_url'
code_payload = {
    html: `
      <style> @import url(../templates/bucket.css); </style>
      <div id="cesiumContainer" class="fullSize"></div>
    `, 
    code: `
const viewer = new Cesium.Viewer("cesiumContainer", {
  terrain: Cesium.Terrain.fromWorldTerrain(),
});

try {
  const tileset = await Cesium.Cesium3DTileset.fromUrl(${tileset_url});
  viewer.scene.primitives.add(tileset);
  viewer.zoomTo(tileset);
} catch (error) {
  console.log('Error loading tileset');
} 
`
}
code_str = window.btoa(JSON.stringify(code_payload))
cesium_sandcastle_url = `https://sandcastle.cesium.com/index.html?code=${code_str}` 

Static meshes

Example for single static meshes based on open-source 3dviewer, works for gltf/glb, obj, ply, fbx etc

3dviewer_url = `https://3dviewer.net/#model=${modelUrl}`

PRs are more than welcome :-)

Not yet. I'm a bit sceptical about iframes, but I could also see a modular approach to actually embedding e.g. Cesium (maybe via ol-cesium as migrating to ol would anyway be on the roadmap), directly.
