Description

Torch proposes a holistic, efficient, high fidelity approach for development of terrain models suitable for use in high fidelity EO/IR rendering applications and simulations. Torch will decrease development complexity and timelines through the generation of efficient characterization algorithms, artifact rectification algorithms, rapid clutter classification, and discrete element creation algorithms to achieve a development platform for topographic and discrete element models, and for clutter classification. This approach integrates the processes of source data providers directly into the characterization and thermal simulations processes, allowing the realization of products suitable for EO/IR scene generators, while providing a growth path for increased fidelity and capability.
