Digital Generation of Contour Maps for Raster Scan Display.

Abstract

This report is concerned with the development of a digitally generated contour map to be displayed on standard raster TV for use in Army aircraft. The requirement for a display of this type is generated by the operations of Army aircraft in nap-of-the-earth (NOE) flight during both day and night operation. NOE flight in this case refers specifically to pilotage at or below tree top level. The study proved the feasibility of generating digital contour maps for display on standard TV monitors. Computer programs were written in assembly language for the Singer SKC-2000 Airborne Computer which generate two color (black and white) contour maps for display on a standard 525 line television system.
