Advanced Computer Image Generation Techniques Exploiting Perceptual Characteristics

Abstract

The study objectives involve applying psychological knowledge of visual perception to improve real-time computer image generation (CIG) simulators. The primary objective is to suggest and identify CIG algorithms for visual simulation that improve the training effectiveness of CIG simulators. The secondary objective is to identify areas of basic research in visual perception that have a significant impact on improving CIG technology. The project proceeded in a sequence of three phases. The first phase entailed observing existing CIG simulators. During the second phase existing perceptual knowledge was studied in light of the capabilities and limitations of existing CIG simulators. In the third phase improved CIG algorithms were developed and relevant areas for further perceptual research were identified. (Author)
