We evaluate three Open-Source WebGL frameworks (X3DOM, three. js and Cesium) and investigate their use for geospatial applications in the Web. Over the course of one year we carried out five case studies and developed different software prototypes using these frameworks. We focus on geospatial applications since they require unique features that bring the evaluated WebGL frameworks to their limits. Geospatial data is typically heterogeneous and very large. Geospatial applications require special data management and interaction techniques. We describe the criteria that we defined to test the WebGL solutions and present our experience from working with them. We give a qualitative comparison and finish the paper with conclusions and an outlook on future research perspectives

“…In assisting the manager of the plantation, this information could be visualized in 3D environment. Ruzinoor et al [9] had done an intensive review on online 3D terrain visualization. There are many type of experiments and testing that being done to test the effectiveness of this information such as using different type of web servers [10], GIS software [11], contour intervals [12], rendering techniques [13], and satellite imageries [14].…”

Oil palm industry has been the backbone for the growth of Malaysia economy. The exports of this commodity increasing almost every year. Therefore, there are many studies focusing on how to help this industry increased its productivity. In order to increase the productivity, the management of oil palm plantation need to be improved and strengthen. One of the solution in helping the oil palm manager is by implementing online 3D visualization technique for oil palm plantation using game engine technology. The potential of this application is that it can helps in fertilizer and irrigation management. For this reason, the aim of this paper is to investigate the issues in managing oil palm plantation from the view of oil palm manager by interview. The results from this interview will helps in identifying the suitable issues could be highlight in implementing online 3D visualization technique for oil palm plantation management.

“…Sawyer et al 11 coined the term “Serious Games” which defines the usage of the game beyond entertainment such as geovisualization. Recently, the study and evaluation of game engines for scientific or interactive geovisualization applications development is discussed by various studies 5,12,13 . Game engines provide an integrated development environment for the development of high‐performance interactive applications for various deployment and execution environments 14 .…”

Virtual globes render planetary-scale terrain and have limited support for 3D applications development. Game engines provide development environment for interactive 3D applications development and have limited support for world-scale terrain rendering. The game engine based terrain rendering methods lacks hardware based tessellation for high-performance. This work presents a novel method for a high-performance large-scale terrain rendering for high-fidelity display systems using game engine. The proposed method performs patch-based hierarchical culling of a multi-resolution terrain model to reduce rendering load. A view-based algorithm simplifies the patches with error control on GPU. Simplified patches are efficiently submitted for drawing using indirect mesh instancing feature of game engine. The proposed method utilizes hardware tessellation feature for high-performance model tessellation and accurate earth's surface construction using displacement mapping. The proposed method is evaluated by rendering scenes for high-quality output on consumer-level hardware. Flights are performed with various settings and results are compared with clipmap-based and state-of-the-art hardware tessellation based adaptive methods. The proposed method achieved 750, 575, and 540 frames-per-second for HD, full-HD, and ultra-HD display resolutions.
