VirtualPlanetBuilder (VPB) is an OSG tool that generates native OSG data to represent terrain, usually by draping a GEO-TIFF over an elevation model.
Building VirtualPlanetBuilder
The VPB project and code can be found here: https://github.com/openscenegraph/VirtualPlanetBuilder
If you've got an existing FlightGear build, there are some additional dependencies:
- OSG
- GDAL (https://gdal.org/)
- ... which requires PROJ 6 or above (https://proj.org/)
- ... which requires the sqlite3.11 or above development package (on linux - 'sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev')
- ... which requires PROJ 6 or above (https://proj.org/)
Note that GDAL and PROJ do not use cmake, so you need to run "./configure" in the source directory before make
VPB is built using cmake e.g.
cmake -DOSG_DIR=/path/to/OSG/install /path/to/VPB/src
Getting Landcover Data
For CORINE data covering Europe, try here: https://land.copernicus.eu/pan-european/corine-land-cover/clc2018
Choose RASTER data, which will download a geo-referenced TIF image.
