CDB User Group - Participant Comment #3 Missing Color material in Material Textures

2008-12-11T17:59:51-05:00

Definition:
There is no color information in the CDB Material definition. This is useful and necessary to provide proper sensor information (black paint runway stripe will become warmer than white paint runway stripe).
How can we add this information in the CDB Material?

Offered suggestion
- Add an optional color material which would be a layer on top of the surface substrate.

CDB User Group - Participant comment #2 How to handle forward compatibility break in CDB

2008-12-11T17:58:30-05:00

Definition:
We discussed at the UG that some features might become non-forward compatible in the future. While it is our tasks as member of the UG to ensure that this is as limited as possible, we know that it is likely to happen.
What would be considered the best solution on how to address this?

Offered suggestion from User Group participant:- Always ensure to keep forward compatibility on minor increase of CDB Changes (from CDB 3.0 to 3.1, to 3.2…). This could be done by continuing to support the previous specification definition but would suggest user to move to the new definition. When we go to a major revision change: from 3.x to 4.0, we would then remove the support to the previous functionalities.

CDB USer Group - Participants comment #1 Duplication of data (Site model & Vector)

2008-12-11T17:56:06-05:00

Discussion definition:
How do we handle with the proposition of the CDB 3.1 for Site Model, the fact that the data to create a runway would then become duplicated? Here is the duplicated information:
- Vector dataset information (runways, taxiways…)
- 3D Model (Airport site model)

Offered suggestion from User Group participant:
- Use the Footprint (associated to 3D model (CDB 3.1 offered changes) to detect and inform of these changes

If you have any other suggestion, or improvement on the current suggestion you are invited to participate and contribute.

CDB 3.0 Draft 2 - Appendix F

2008-11-19T15:13:18-05:00

This pertains to CDB 3.0 specification draft 2.

Page 3-1 references the appendices for various hierarchy specific information. Of particular interest was:

- Appendix F lists all of the 3D Model component naming and hierarchy of the
CDB

I checked Appendix F in the CDB Specification - 02 - Appendices.pdf, but this seems to repeat the data in Appendix O which is related to Model Skin Names.

Will there be a new draft published soon that will contain this appendix?

Thank you.
