This is the open-source version of the CDB Productivity API, with support for the OGC CDB, including mesh generation of CDB content.
The CDB Productivity Suite combines several tools for the generation, validation, and visualization of CDB content. This manual describes each of these tools and presents example use cases to demonstrate the capabilities included.
More details for each tool can be found in the cognitics\docs directory.
- Data Injection (cdb-inject): populates imagery and elevation from source data.
- Mesh Conversion (mesh2cdb): Generates CDB content from OBJ meshes.
- Smart LOD Generator (cdb-lod): creates lower level of detail imagery and elevation tiles for existing data.
- Validation (cdbinfo): provides information on missing geotypical and geospecific models and textures.
- Attribute Translator: converts feature attribution between different data dictionaries.
