GSoC 2017 - 3D OSM Plugin API for ESA-NASA Web World Wind

Introduction
The goal of this project is to create a plugin API to display OpenStreetMap (OSM) data on NASA Web World Wind virtual globe in three dimensions. The OSM data is going to be fetched in real time based on a bounding box or a URL for OSM data and some keywords. The adapter will offer a function to extrude the polygons present in the fetched data using an arbitrary height value. Additionally the project may extract the real heights of buildings using DSM data and apply these heights to extrusion, improve performance via various caching techniques, and tile the data. In case the tiling will be implemented, a new adapter may be created to tile any GeoJSON data.

Tentative Schedule
ɤ In case time remains, existing tiling procedures will be investigated and the most suitable one will be implemented.

Student's Biography
Candan Eylül Kilsedar studied Computer Science and Engineering in BSc and MSc. Currently she is working in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, in GEOlab, Politecnico di Milano, Italy as a research fellow and PhD student. GEOlab focuses highly on Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and as a result she has experience in using FOSS. She wants to take the opportunity of joining GSoC 2017 to extend her knowledge in FOSS development. Her mentors for this project are Patrick Hogan, the project manager of the NASA World Wind and Jakub Balhar, software Engineer at Gisat. Eventually she wants to develop & use FOSS to build better communication and collaboration inside and among cities. She is interested in web technologies and geographic data visualization techniques.
