I am the head of a development team at IGN. My team works on creating tools for producing image data (as orthophotos), 3D data (LiDAR data for the whole of France, DTM, DSM) and digital twins. My team also has a large component dedicated to developing web visualization of 3D data for iTowns.
Session
iTowns is an open-source, community-driven web framework designed for geospatial
data visualization, navigation and interaction. It provides seamless 3D
rendering in a single, integrated package. Sponsored by the french National
Map agency (IGN) and Ciril Group, iTowns benefits from institutional
and industry support to ensure long-term development and innovation.
Technique
Built with extensibility and interoperability in mind, iTowns out-of-the-box
supports commonly-used OGC's open formats and protocols. This includes:
- fetching imagery and elevation data from WMS, WMTS and TMS servers
- streaming large 3D datasets: 3D Tiles, pointclouds; ...
- importing various vectors formats: vector tiles, geoJSON, GPX, ...
- and those requested by the community!
