A Real-Time, Three-Dimensional Moving Platform Visualization Tool

Abstract

Inexpensive, three-dimensional vehicle simulators are important visualization tools, that can enhance training and serve as low-cost platforms for testing mobility expert system algorithms. The moving vehicle simulator is an interactive, real-time system that displays a dynamic, three dimensional, out-the-window view of the terrain from any vehicle. The simulator has two modes of operation: stand-alone or networked. The networked mode facilitates a missile/target war gaming environment. The simulator can easily be adopted for use with a variety of computation resources on the network. Keywords: Visualization tools, Vehicle view simulators, Mobility expert systems, Theses.
