Computer Image Generation: Advanced Visual/Sensor Simulation.

Abstract

This study investigated, developed, and evaluated various Computer Image Generation (CIG) techniques to overcome the qualitative limitations of current CIG imaginery produced by edge-based systems. The study concluded with an integration of techniques into a system concept. This report describes the techniques investigated, the system concept developed, and the general hardware implementations which are useful for cost/benefit tradeoffs. The system concept presented is based on the use of textured terrain for realistic simulation. In areas where the technique was for training effectiveness and an algorithmically unified system. The approach also involves the display of terrain as curved surfaces represented by bicubic splines. (Author)
