Melown 3D mapping library

The Melown (http://melown.com) API and open source library provides a technology for interactive rendering of 3D maps across platofrms and form factors. It is client-server architecture with back-end component (VTS) and JavaScript front-end library.

The workshop’s topic is complete Melown’s 3D open source stack (https://github.com/melown/). The workshop consists of three parts: In the first part, we are are going to give the introduction to the concepts and 3D visualisation principles and naming convention used in Melown. In the second part, Melown server (back-end) is introduced. We are going to setup and configure Melown server (mapping proxy) and configure data sources from public services. We also will add custom vector data and visualise them on top of digital elevation model. In the last part, we are going to create web application consuming data from configured server and visualising them in the web browser. We will demonstrate capabilities of the JavaScript library and show the ways the map can be embed to existing web page. In the closing part, Melown web administration console (https://www.melown.com/console) will be presented, where all the parts are ready-to-use in our cloud platform for less technical skilled users.
