Navigate urban scenarios with MapStore 3D tools - FOSS4G 2023

This presentation focuses on the use of MapStore to navigate urban scenarios using its 3D tools and capabilities. Latest versions of MapStore include improvements and tools related to the exploitation of 3D data such as Map Views, Styling, 3D Measurements and more. Support for 3D Tiles and glTF models through the Cesium mapping library has also been greatly enhanced to provide support for more powerful integration.

Attendees will be presented with a selection of use cases around the following topics: visualization of new projects for urban planning, relations between different levels of a city and descriptions of events inside a city. At the end of the presentation attendees will be able to use the presented workflows to replicate them on different urban scenarios using the 3D tools of the MapStore WebGIS application.

4. What’s MapStore
5. What’s MapStore MapStore is an highly modular Open Source WebGIS framework to create, manage and share maps, dashboard and geostories. MapStore is map agnostic and ensures the greatest flexibility: its abstraction tier allows to work with different web mapping libraries. The mapping engines currently supported are OpenLayers, LeafletJS and Cesium.js.
6. What’s MapStore New 3D improvements based: • Update of Cesium.js library for 3D Tiles support • Map Views • 3D Measurement tools • Styling of vector data client side • GLTF (.glb) model as point symbolizer
7. How to test this new 3D Map Views?
8. How to test this new 3D Map Views? Download the latest MapStore release binary from https://github.com/geosolutions-it/MapStore2/releases
9. Start the application and login as admin, create a new map and switch to 3D mode How to test this new 3D Map Views?
10. Enable Map Views from the side bar on the right How to test this new 3D Map Views?
11. 3D Map Views Workflow
12. 3D Map Views Workflow Move the camera to a new location
13. 3D Map Views Workflow Add a new view by clicking on the + button
14. 3D Map Views Workflow Edit the view by clicking on the pencil button
15. Editing a Map View
16. Editing a Map View Title and description
17. Editing a Map View Position of the camera
18. Editing a Map View Animation in between map views
19. Editing a Map View Mask to visualize specific area of a 3D Tiles layer
20. Editing a Map View Globe translucency
21. Editing a Map View Layer options includes: terrain clipping, change visibility, edit opacity, 3D Tiles layer clipping
22. Example 1: new projects for urban planning
23. Overview and highlight of projects areas New projects for urban planning
24. Visualization of a new project clipping the 3D Tiles and by using GLTF Model New projects for urban planning
25. Visualization of a new project clipping the 3D Tiles, the terrain and by using GLTF 3D Model New projects for urban planning
26. Visualization of reconstructed historical data via 3D Tiles New projects for urban planning
27. Using clipping functionality to intersect and compare current data with historical data New projects for urban planning
28. Example 2: relations between different levels of a city
29. Relations between different levels of a city Overview of subway stations
30. Use of the clipping functionality of 3D Tiles to highlight the subway station Relations between different levels of a city
31. The subway line visible through the terrain is a GLTF 3D model Relations between different levels of a city
32. The map tools such as the measurement are still available for each map view Relations between different levels of a city
33. The clipping could be inverted to show the underground and highlight some areas Relations between different levels of a city
34. Example 3: descriptions of events inside a city
35. Descriptions of events inside a city Map views to navigate different location without changing the layer options
36. Map views to navigate different location without changing the layer options Descriptions of events inside a city
37. Styling replacing the points of a vector layer with GLTF 3D Models Descriptions of events inside a city
38. Use of the map views to zoom to a specific location Descriptions of events inside a city
