Terrain Summit 2008
One World - One Terrain - Unlimited Possibilities
This year's Terrain Summit will examine the ubiquitous use of 3D environments in Defense Simulation, Gaming, Broadcast Media, and Interactive Web content. Focus will be on the impact of technology convergence among the genres.
Presagis invites you to come and learn about our powerful Terra Vista family of terrain generation software. We will also be featuring our content creation, visualization and simulation products.

On March 12th, Presagis will present the following paper:
Database Translation and Reuse with the DART Method
Presented by Kenny Hebert on March 12th from 3:30 PM - 4:00 PM.
Abstract:
This paper proposes the DART (Database Automated Reuse Technology) import and translation method to extract source information from legacy visual and SAF formats and subsequently output other correlated SAF formats, populate an MDB container, or translate into CDB format for runtime Image Generators.
Presagis will be demonstrating the following Terra Vista products:
Terra VistaTerra Vista Base provides the highest level of correlation in more formats than any other terrain database product in the industry. Rapidly construct terrain databases for Modeling and Simulation applications through rule-based construction methods, an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI), template-based automation, parametric modeling techniques, and an expert systems-assisted configuration.
Terra Vista ProBuilderTerra Vista ProBuilder is a professional-level tool for generating correlated visual, sensor, SAF/CGF, maps, and analytical 3D databases. Ideal for small- to medium-sized production shops, Pro Builder supports the building of database environments for ground, air, maritime, sensor, and Urban/MOUT.
Terra Vista DartTerra Vista DART is an enterprise-level tool that uses common source and common processing to support the re-use of legacy databases, the production of new databases, and the industry’s highest level of correlated outputs. Including all of the functionality of Pro Builder, this tool supports the building of database environments for ground, air, maritime, sensor, Urban, and MOUT.
OTF Output CompilerTerra Vista ProBuilder and Terra Vista DART from Presagis are ideal for creating highly detailed and correlated OneSAF Terrain Format (OTF) compliant databases for OneSAF Objective System (OOS) runtime environments. The OTF Attribute pass in Terra Vista enables the quick establishment of EDM feature attributes assigned to the feature.
ETM MOduleThis new optional module brings new road and bridge modeling capabilities, along with multi-state bridge and building model output, to Terra Vista for detailed urban terrain development.
