Description
<p>Scientists engaged in geology often come in contact with point data indicating the location like outcrops, borings and so on, and expand them on a web based 2D-map to show the location in general. However, increasing the number of point data causes deterioration of the response speed of web application. In this study, I tried to make a web application for mapping a huge number of points with new approach by using WebGL, attempted to improve response speed to operations of application. I adopted "Point Cloud PNG (PCPNG)" as a format for delivering point data instead of a well-known format such as JSON, GeoJSON or binary vector tiles. As a result, I have successfully developed a web application with good responsiveness, therefore, my developed mechanism as well as its comparison with already existed web applications for mapping point cloud are herewith introduced.</p>
