Virtual Planet Builder (VPB) is OSG's terrain-database-building tool.
It loads GIS elevation data for a
region, combines it with imagery and produces a spatially-balanced
quadtree tiled database that can be navigated simply by loading the
top-level file. All of the LOD Ranges are pre-configured and the
DatabasePager automatically loads and unloads different segments of
terrain without any supporting userspace code required. VPB can build
terrain models ranging from a small area to the entire planet. These
databases can be fluidly navigated at 60fps from outer space down to
ground level with no interruptions. The terrain models are built of
regular grid arrays with optional edge-skirts to conceal any cracks
caused by adjacent LOD differences. — OpenScenGraph's Virtual Planet Builder/OSGDEM. Published by AlphaPixel, LLC.
