ReleaseV1.0
The iTowns project is proud to release iTowns Version 1.0.
iTowns is a web framework written in Javascript/WebGL for visualisation of 3D geographic data, allowing precise measurements in 3D. Its first purpose is the visualisation of street view images and terrestrial lidar point clouds, though it now supports much more data types.
Version 1.0 is the first opensource release of iTowns. It is the core of the original iTowns application developped during the last years at IGN MATIS research laboratory.

This version provides the following features :
- Load and project Oriented Images on mesh (cube or city model)
- Load and display Panoramic Images
- Load Depth Panoramic Image and render in 3D
- Load 2D multipolygons with height (building footprint) from WFS or local file and triangulate it to create building boxes. This mesh can then be use for texture projection.
- Navigate through Image Data using click and go functions
- Load and display Point Cloud from PLY files.
- Load and display 3D textured models (B3D, 3DS).
- Simple API interface.
French IGN provides a sample dataset, which can be viewed on the iTowns demo :

On the 3d and 4th of February, 2016, the iTowns project held a codesprint, hosted by IGNFab in Paris. It gathered around 15 developers and enabled to finalize the 1.0 release, work on iTowns project organization, documentation and demos, as well as design and test new features for the next generation of the iTowns framework. A PSC has been formed, with Alexandre Devaux (IGN) as chair.
This collaboration has been fruitful, and is a good kick-off for all developers willing to work together on 3D geospatial data visualization.
iTowns is an original work from French IGN, MATIS research laboratory. It has been funded through various research programs involving the French National Research Agency, Cap Digital, UPMC, Mines ParisTec, CNRS, LCPC.
iTowns is currently maintained by IGN ( http://www.ign.fr ) and Oslandia ( http://www.oslandia.com )
