引言：地形分析的现实需求

在数字孪生、智慧城市、工程仿真和地质勘探等领域，地形分析是不可或缺的核心技术。传统GIS系统虽然能提供基础的地形分析功能，但在三维可视化、实时交互和大规模数据处理方面存在局限。CesiumJS作为开源WebGL地球引擎，为Web端三维地形分析提供了革命性解决方案。

本文将深入探讨CesiumJS在地形分析领域的三大核心能力：高程分析、坡度计算和可视域分析，通过实际代码示例展示如何构建专业级地形分析应用。

一、高程分析：精确获取地形海拔数据

1.1 地形采样基础

CesiumJS通过sampleTerrain和sampleTerrainMostDetailedAPI实现高程数据采集：

// 创建采样点网格
function createGrid(centerLongitude, centerLatitude, gridSize, gridResolution) {
    const positions = [];
    const halfSize = gridSize / 2;
    
    for (let x = 0; x < gridResolution; x++) {
        for (let y = 0; y < gridResolution; y++) {
            const longitude = centerLongitude + 
                (x / (gridResolution - 1) - 0.5) * gridSize;
            const latitude = centerLatitude + 
                (y / (gridResolution - 1) - 0.5) * gridSize;
            
            positions.push(Cesium.Cartographic.fromDegrees(longitude, latitude));
        }
    }
    return positions;
}

// 执行高程采样
async function sampleElevation(viewer, positions, level = 12) {
    try {
        const sampledPositions = await Cesium.sampleTerrain(
            viewer.terrainProvider, 
            level, 
            positions
        );
        
        return sampledPositions.map(pos => pos.height);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('高程采样失败:', error);
        return null;
    }
}

1.2 高程可视化技术

通过高程带材质实现地形高程的可视化编码：

function createElevationMaterial(minHeight, maxHeight) {
    const layers = [{
        entries: [
            { height: minHeight, color: new Cesium.Color(0.0, 0.0, 0.5, 0.8) },   // 深蓝-低海拔
            { height: (minHeight + maxHeight) * 0.3, color: new Cesium.Color(0.0, 0.5, 0.0, 0.8) }, // 绿色-中等
            { height: (minHeight + maxHeight) * 0.6, color: new Cesium.Color(1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.8) }, // 黄色-较高
            { height: maxHeight, color: new Cesium.Color(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.8) }    // 红色-高海拔
        ],
        extendDownwards: true,
        extendUpwards: true
    }];
    
    return Cesium.createElevationBandMaterial({
        scene: viewer.scene,
        layers: layers
    });
}

1.3 高程统计分析

function analyzeElevationData(heights) {
    const stats = {
        min: Math.min(...heights),
        max: Math.max(...heights),
        avg: heights.reduce((sum, h) => sum + h, 0) / heights.length,
        std: 0
    };
    
    // 计算标准差
    const variance = heights.reduce((sum, h) => sum + Math.pow(h - stats.avg, 2), 0) / heights.length;
    stats.std = Math.sqrt(variance);
    
    // 高程分布直方图
    const range = stats.max - stats.min;
    const binSize = range / 10;
    stats.histogram = Array(10).fill(0);
    
    heights.forEach(height => {
        const binIndex = Math.min(9, Math.floor((height - stats.min) / binSize));
        stats.histogram[binIndex]++;
    });
    
    return stats;
}

二、坡度计算：地形陡缓程度分析

2.1 基于顶点法向量的坡度计算

CesiumJS的地形服务可提供顶点法向量数据，用于精确计算坡度：

async function calculateSlope(viewer, position, sampleRadius = 100) {
    // 获取地形法向量
    const terrainProvider = viewer.terrainProvider;
    if (!terrainProvider.requestVertexNormals) {
        console.warn('地形服务不支持法向量数据');
        return null;
    }

    // 创建采样区域
    const samples = createCircularSampleGrid(position, sampleRadius, 8);
    const sampledPositions = await Cesium.sampleTerrainMostDetailed(terrainProvider, samples);
    
    // 计算法向量和坡度
    const slopes = [];
    for (let i = 0; i < sampledPositions.length - 1; i++) {
        for (let j = i + 1; j < sampledPositions.length; j++) {
            const slope = calculateSlopeBetweenPoints(sampledPositions[i], sampledPositions[j]);
            slopes.push(slope);
        }
    }
    
    return slopes.reduce((sum, s) => sum + s, 0) / slopes.length;
}

function calculateSlopeBetweenPoints(pos1, pos2) {
    const distance = Cesium.Cartesian3.distance(
        Cesium.Cartographic.toCartesian(pos1),
        Cesium.Cartographic.toCartesian(pos2)
    );
    const heightDiff = Math.abs(pos1.height - pos2.height);
    return Math.atan(heightDiff / distance) * (180 / Math.PI); // 转换为角度
}

2.2 坡度可视化方案

function visualizeSlope(viewer, slopeData) {
    const slopeMaterial = new Cesium.Material({
        fabric: {
            type: 'Slope',
            uniforms: {
                slopeData: slopeData,
                minSlope: 0,
                maxSlope: 45
            },
            source: `
                uniform sampler2D slopeData;
                uniform float minSlope;
                uniform float maxSlope;
                
                czm_material czm_getMaterial(czm_materialInput materialInput) {
                    czm_material material = czm_getDefaultMaterial(materialInput);
                    vec2 slopeUV = materialInput.st;
                    float slope = texture2D(slopeData, slopeUV).r;
                    
                    // 坡度颜色映射
                    float normalizedSlope = (slope - minSlope) / (maxSlope - minSlope);
                    vec3 color;
                    
                    if (normalizedSlope < 0.25) {
                        color = mix(vec3(0,1,0), vec3(1,1,0), normalizedSlope * 4.0); // 绿到黄
                    } else if (normalizedSlope < 0.5) {
                        color = mix(vec3(1,1,0), vec3(1,0.5,0), (normalizedSlope - 0.25) * 4.0); // 黄到橙
                    } else {
                        color = mix(vec3(1,0.5,0), vec3(1,0,0), (normalizedSlope - 0.5) * 2.0); // 橙到红
                    }
                    
                    material.diffuse = vec3(color);
                    material.alpha = 0.8;
                    return material;
                }
            `
        }
    });
    
    viewer.scene.globe.material = slopeMaterial;
}

三、可视域分析：通视性判断与视野模拟

3.1 基础可视域分析算法

class ViewshedAnalyzer {
    constructor(viewer) {
        this.viewer = viewer;
        this.observerHeight = 1.8; // 默认观察者身高
    }
    
    async computeViewshed(observerPosition, radius = 1000, resolution = 100) {
        const terrainProvider = this.viewer.terrainProvider;
        const targetPoints = this.generateAnalysisPoints(observerPosition, radius, resolution);
        
        // 获取地形高程
        const sampledPoints = await Cesium.sampleTerrainMostDetailed(terrainProvider, targetPoints);
        
        const results = [];
        const observerCartesian = Cesium.Cartographic.toCartesian(observerPosition);
        const observerElevation = observerPosition.height + this.observerHeight;
        
        for (const target of sampledPoints) {
            const isVisible = await this.checkVisibility(observerCartesian, observerElevation, target);
            results.push({
                position: target,
                visible: isVisible
            });
        }
        
        return results;
    }
    
    async checkVisibility(observerCartesian, observerElevation, target) {
        // 创建视线线段
        const targetCartesian = Cesium.Cartographic.toCartesian(target);
        const segment = new Cesium.LineSegment(observerCartesian, targetCartesian);
        
        // 采样中间点
        const sampleCount = 10;
        for (let i = 1; i < sampleCount - 1; i++) {
            const t = i / sampleCount;
            const samplePoint = Cesium.Cartesian3.lerp(
                observerCartesian, targetCartesian, t, new Cesium.Cartesian3()
            );
            
            const sampleCartographic = Cesium.Cartographic.fromCartesian(samplePoint);
            const terrainHeight = await this.getTerrainHeight(sampleCartographic);
            
            // 计算视线高度
            const sightHeight = observerElevation + 
                (target.height - observerElevation) * t;
            
            if (terrainHeight > sightHeight) {
                return false; // 地形遮挡
            }
        }
        
        return true;
    }
}

3.2 可视域可视化效果

function visualizeViewshed(results) {
    const visibleEntities = [];
    const hiddenEntities = [];
    
    results.forEach(result => {
        const entity = {
            position: Cesium.Cartographic.toCartesian(result.position),
            point: {
                pixelSize: 8,
                color: result.visible ? 
                    Cesium.Color.GREEN.withAlpha(0.7) : 
                    Cesium.Color.RED.withAlpha(0.7),
                heightReference: Cesium.HeightReference.CLAMP_TO_GROUND
            }
        };
        
        if (result.visible) {
            visibleEntities.push(entity);
        } else {
            hiddenEntities.push(entity);
        }
    });
    
    // 批量添加实体
    this.viewer.entities.add(visibleEntities);
    this.viewer.entities.add(hiddenEntities);
    
    return { visible: visibleEntities.length, hidden: hiddenEntities.length };
}

4.2 核心功能集成

class TerrainAnalysisPlatform {
    constructor(containerId) {
        this.viewer = new Cesium.Viewer(containerId, {
            terrain: Cesium.Terrain.fromWorldTerrain({
                requestWaterMask: true,
                requestVertexNormals: true
            })
        });
        
        this.elevationAnalyzer = new ElevationAnalyzer(this.viewer);
        this.slopeAnalyzer = new SlopeAnalyzer(this.viewer);
        this.viewshedAnalyzer = new ViewshedAnalyzer(this.viewer);
        
        this.initUI();
    }
    
    initUI() {
        // 创建分析控制面板
        this.analysisPanel = new AnalysisPanel(this);
        
        // 绑定事件处理
        this.viewer.screenSpaceEventHandler.setInputAction(
            this.onClick.bind(this), 
            Cesium.ScreenSpaceEventType.LEFT_CLICK
        );
    }
    
    async onClick(click) {
        const pickedObject = this.viewer.scene.pick(click.position);
        if (Cesium.defined(pickedObject) && pickedObject.id === 'terrain') {
            const position = this.viewer.scene.globe.pick(
                this.viewer.camera.getPickRay(click.position),
                this.viewer.scene
            );
            
            if (position) {
                const cartographic = Cesium.Cartographic.fromCartesian(position);
                
                // 执行综合地形分析
                const results = await this.comprehensiveAnalysis(cartographic);
                this.analysisPanel.displayResults(results);
            }
        }
    }
    
    async comprehensiveAnalysis(position) {
        return {
            elevation: await this.elevationAnalyzer.analyze(position),
            slope: await this.slopeAnalyzer.analyze(position),
            viewshed: await this.viewshedAnalyzer.analyze(position)
        };
    }
}

4.3 性能优化策略

// 使用Web Worker进行并行计算
class AnalysisWorkerManager {
    constructor() {
        this.workers = [];
        this.taskQueue = [];
        this.maxWorkers = navigator.hardwareConcurrency || 4;
    }
    
    async executeTask(taskType, data) {
        if (this.workers.length < this.maxWorkers) {
            const worker = this.createWorker(taskType);
            this.workers.push(worker);
            return this.assignTask(worker, data);
        } else {
            return new Promise(resolve => {
                this.taskQueue.push({ data, resolve });
            });
        }
    }
    
    createWorker(taskType) {
        const worker = new Worker(`analysis-${taskType}-worker.js`);
        worker.onmessage = (event) => {
            this.onWorkerComplete(worker, event.data);
        };
        return worker;
    }
    
    onWorkerComplete(worker, result) {
        // 处理任务结果
        if (this.taskQueue.length > 0) {
            const nextTask = this.taskQueue.shift();
            this.assignTask(worker, nextTask.data).then(nextTask.resolve);
        }
    }
}

五、最佳实践与性能考量

5.1 内存管理优化

// 使用对象池管理分析结果
class AnalysisResultPool {
    constructor() {
        this.pool = new Map();
        this.maxSize = 1000;
    }
    
    getResult(key) {
        return this.pool.get(key);
    }
    
    storeResult(key, result) {
        if (this.pool.size >= this.maxSize) {
            // LRU淘汰策略
            const oldestKey = this.pool.keys().next().value;
            this.pool.delete(oldestKey);
        }
        this.pool.set(key, result);
    }
    
    clear() {
        this.pool.clear();
    }
}

5.2 分级加载策略

// 根据视距动态调整分析精度
function getAnalysisLevel(distance) {
    if (distance < 500) return 12;    // 高精度
    if (distance < 2000) return 10;   // 中等精度
    if (distance < 5000) return 8;    // 低精度
    return 6;                         // 最低精度
}
