Integrating a module to 3d scan a house within the MapMint4ME android application

Introduction of MapMint
MapMint4ME is an Android application to record your data on the field. MapMint4ME is an Android application for MapMint web-mapping services. MapMint4ME gives the users capability to store data without using the internet locally. The data can be a file stored in alpha-numeric format, an audio file, a video file or readings obtained from a Sensor Observation Service (SOS). When the user returns back to a place with network connectivity, the recorded data can be uploaded back to the server.

MapMint4ME is an android application for MapMint web-service. MapMint is an internet-based Geographic Information System(GIS), designed to facilitate the deployment of Spatial Data Infrastructure(SDI). In an SDI, geographic data, metadata, tools, and the users are connected in an interactive manner in a framework so as to use the spatial information in an efficient and flexible way.

Project proposal
My proposal for GSoC 2021.

Abstract
This project allows a minimalist 3D scan (taking multiple pictures, recording camera position, using opendrone map to rebuild the 3D scene) with the house faces (accessible/visible faces) then load it as georeferenced data with the database and being able to export the data back on MapMint for 3D viewing.

 * Sat 29 may, we had our first meeting with mentors, where we have the chance to:
 * first introductions
 * discuss some administrative questions
 * discuss some blockings of the projects
 * Created 3D scene using ODM (OpenDroneMap).
 * Setup MapMint.
 * Installed Android Studio and forked MapMint4ME repository (have not tried it yet)

Week One: 7th - 13th June

 * What have I done this week:
 * Gone through some of the code of the app with mentor
 * Solved the soft link problem in Windows
 * Added a button for 3D scene in the home page
 * Started the layout for the 3D scene page
 * Gone through some documentation regarding javascript in WebView in Android


 * Am I blocked on anything:
 * How to make the binding between javascript and java
 * How the whole app is working, and how everything is linked to everything


 *  My plans for next week:
 * Working harder on my blockings
 * Begin implementing the pictures taking within the app

Week Two: 14th - 20th June

 * What have I done this week:
 * Worked on UI elements on the android app

 * Collect images from phone, experiment with creating a form

Week Three: 21th - 27th June

 * What have I done this week:
 * Setup MapMint on a docker container on my local machine.
 * Made the sample form for collecting images from MapMint4ME.


 *  My plans for next week:
