Abstract
In this paper, an online visualization framework for agriculture LiDAR point cloud is proposed based on HTML5 technologies. In the framework, 3D data is transmitted with Websocket, and visualized with X3DOM that allows including X3D elements as part of any HTML5 DOM tree. There is no specific plugins required for the framework that extends the availability of the LiDAR data for agriculture related applications. The experimental results demonstrate the online visualization results of two types of LiDAR point clouds for the agriculture fields.
