SEGen Server (SEGen) generates the necessary imagery and raster material for consumption by Vega Prime and/or Lyra. SEGen-generated raster material and imagery data provides content necessary to develop visualization applications in any location in the world. In addition, this data provides the ability to create additional visual effects and content in the scene.
Types of effects include:
-
SpeedGrass/ SpeedTree applied to the terrain based on the material raster.
-
Material-based HyperTexture which provides the benefit of higher resolution imagery at the ground level than exists in the source itself.
-
Ability to easily create and visualize a “map view” directly from synthetically generated SEGen data.
The value of a combined SEGen Server & Vega Prime solution:
-
World-wide synthetic environment generation is immediately usable by the visuals with significantly reduced disk storage requirements.
-
Geographically appropriate content (based on zones) for any area of the world can be generated for the visualization application reducing potential time and costs associated with development.
-
Provides the ability to support any domain (air, helicopter, or ground) with no need to change the database/content being used.
-
Rapid replacement and updating of areas of interest or target sites anywhere in the world without the need to modify or (re)publish the full database on disk.
-
Full and automatic correlation between the visuals and other CDB applications (such as SAF) without the need to publish differing application specific databases on disk. SEGen provides the ability to draw from/use the same synthetic environment/source data for both simulation and visualization applications.
