Cesium World Terrain - artifacts along coastllines #170
Comments
This doesn't look to be isolated to NZ, just came across the same thing in Australia 38.10670°S, 144.36468°E |
Thanks for reporting this @stevenjh. As part of curating Cesium World Terrain we combine multiple different data sources and run various quality checks to remove erroneous data. I think this might be a class of error that we're not checking for right now. It looks like they're waves that were interpreted as heights. You can use the Cesium Viewer app to link directly to a specific view (the URL updates as you move the camera). Here I think is one if the views (or close) to your first screenshot: If you can add links to some of the ones you found in NZ as well that would be helpful. Are they all around the coast like this? |
Updating this to be general artifacts along coastlines. I believe the issue is due to the source data in these areas recording waves as elevation heights. There's a few more areas of this reported in this forum thread. The easiest way to find these is to go to a CesiumJS viewer and type in the lat/lon separated by space or comma: 129.144821, 35.154470 |
We're migrating the issues in this repository to consolidate questions, Cesium ion feature requests, and bug reports on the Cesium community forum, that way there'll be one place to search for answers. We're tracking this issue internally now. For any follow-up questions, or if you find any more artifacts, please continue to report them on community forum! |
I've found a number of strange spikes occurring around the coastlines of New Zealand.
This picture is taken in Auckland City harbour, at the north end of the harbour bridge. The spikes are about 30m in height and there are instances of this throughout the contry.
Thanks!
