Computer generated images simulate infrared and low light level television displays
Abstract
Electro-optical Viewing Systems (EVS), including forward looking infrared and low light level television systems, are becoming increasingly important to the military for aerial navigation and targeting. The use of simulation systems in all aspects of training provides benefits in areas of cost, safety, energy consumption, and training effectiveness. Training system cost is a function of simulation specifications. In visual simulation, it is necessary to evaluate scenes resulting from various specifications to determine their necessity and adequacy. This paper covers development of a versatile software simulation model capable of matching the results of various EVS displays. Feasibility of EVS simulation with current technology is demonstrated, and some results obtained from use of this model are discussed.
