A Computer Simulation System for the Production of Realistic Photographs of Terrestrial Sceneswy

Abstract

This work develops a computer simulation system for large scale terrestrial scenes. The previous efforts have produced independent models for solid targets, camouflage nets, terrain and vegetation ground cover. The present effort has produced automatic generation of vegetation input, improvements in the efficiency of the vegetation model and increased flexibility of the terrain model and has welded the independent models into a single system capable of producing shadowed photographs of all or any part of a composite scene. The system has been successfully demonstrated by the production of a high quality photograph of a simulated test site.
