TerrainServer


The 52N terrainServer provides Web-based service implementations to query terrain information as well as 3-D scenes.

Basic functionality

  • HTTP Get service to query elevation values for a specified position (x, y)
  • Service to derive cross-section data from elevation grid models
  • Prototype Web 3D Scene Service (W3DS) for terrain surfaces
  • Prototype Web Terrain Service (WTS) implementation to generate perspective map views

How can I get the application?

You can check out the source code (Java and JavaServer Pages) from this 52°North Subversion Repository: https://svn.52north.org/svn/3d

An anonymous check-out is supported! (Note that a 52°North account is required if you want to contribute code.)

Documents

More documentation will follow soon.
