Terrain Mapping and Line-of-Sight Programs. Program Maintenance Manual.

Abstract

The terrain mapping programs perform the functions of transforming a numerical map data file, produced by the Defense Mapping Agency on a UNIVAC 1108, into a printed array of elevations or into a file suitable for processing by the line-of-sight programs. The line-of-sight programs may be used to produce map overlays, indicating which areas are visible and which are hidden from some specified observation point, or to interactively determine whether a point is visible from another point. All programs run on the CDC 6000 series computer system using the SCOPE 3.3 operating system. (Author)
