First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- a computer work station coupled to at least one visual display;
a plurality of data bases stored on a computer readable medium coupled to the workstation, the data bases include visual out the window display data, infrared and radar display data and computer generated forces data including coded surface material specifying data and a representation of a selected stored environment;
and computer generated mobilizing software, executable by the work station to combine the coded surface material specifying data with the stored environment and to visually display mobility of computer forces on the visual display.

Abstract
Systems and methods usable to provide synthetic environments for computer generated forces include supplemental identifying information applicable to the respective surface. Polygons used to represent the surface can be overlayed with supplemental information to provide a higher fidelity environment in which to mobilize the computer generated forces.

7. A system comprising:
-
at least one computer coupled to at least one visual display, and a computer readable data storage device which includes information defining a prestored, multi-regional representation of an environment, prestored lineal information and surface material specifying information associated with at least some regions of the environment;
the computer executes software which retrieves information relative to, a selected region of the environment, determines if additional, non-lineal, surface material information is available for that region from the data storage device and, if so, combines information as to surface characteristics of that region with the additional surface material information and displays a regional composite of the combined surface characteristic information and additional surface material information on the visual display. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
