ABSTRACT:
The system can be used to generate an image for visual systems, such as an out-the-window image for flight simulator systems. It comprises a photographic based image generator which creates realistic video images in real time for display on a raster scan monitor or visual display. The system is based on two general principles which would be used separately or in combination to simplify the processing of digitally stored video images. The first principle is the interlacing of the digital information which is stored on a disk. Rather than storing a contiguous picture of sections of a picture, the technique stores a digitized photograph as a series of cells. Each cell contains information which is interlaced in both the horizontal and vertical direction with respect to the preceding and succeeding cell. The second principle is the use of a virtual type of photo memory which allows selective updating of picture information. It simultaneously minimizes the total quantity of digitized data which must be stored at any one instant in time.
