Development and Validation of New Technologies for TrueView

Abstract

This project continues and extends work on prototypes of new algorithms and implementations for maritime environment simulation and rendering technologies. These prototype systems will support new features in SSCPAC s TrueView EO/IR maritime simulation software system. Previous work in support of EO/IR scene simulation will be used as the starting point for this effort. The technical focus will be on (1) vessel interaction dynamics insertion into maritimescenes, including foam generation and evolution, wetting/drying, thermal effects, bouyancy, and EO/IR propagation; (2) dynamic ocean backgrounds extended with spray/foam, near-shore and littoral effects with terrain modeling and rendering; (3) atmospheric and underwater EO/IR propagation through atmosphere, fogs, extended clouds systems, and water volume; (4)scientific validation and verification of select modules. Items (1)-(3) will produce rendered demonstrations of the capabilities as well as technical documentation of the approach, and item (4) a quantitative analysis of the accuracy of the select modules and potentially suggestions for improvements.
