Abstract :
It is noted that the specifics of visual systems, and related visionics systems, is one of the most difficult aspects of flight trainer procurement. The common goal for the services and industry is to establish specification terms which ensure the most cost-effective training systems. There has been a shift in specifications from terms of graphics primitives, such as polygons and lights, to terms of training cues, such as terrain fidelity. The authors describe the impact of this new specification method for three key areas of visionics system performance: terrain fidelity, feature fidelity, and system resolution
