Terracon: An Automatic Graphics Database Conversion Program for Joint Tactical Simulation Databases
Abstract
The Joint Tactical Simulation (JTS) is a distributed, stochastic, entity-level, real-time, interactive simulation, developed by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). JTS provides the user with a two-dimensional (2-D) view of its simulation with a capability to zoom in or out. The U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) has developed a visualization tool for viewing JTS in three dimensions. In support of this visualization tool, ARL has developed a UNIX-based, command-line program, Terracon, which automatically converts a JTS database into a three-dimensional (3-D) graphics database for use with the visualization tool.
