MetaVR’s New 2 cm Per-Pixel Resolution Geospecific Target Range Synthetic Terrain Built With Imagery Collected by Remote-Controlled Aircraft

Press

MetaVR has posted a video of a new real-time scenario that takes place on 3D geospecific synthetic terrain built with 2cm per-pixel resolution aerial imagery collected in early 2015 with the company’s remote-controlled aircraft, the MetaVRC.

This new 2 cm geospecific 3D terrain is of two target ranges at the Naval Air Station (NAS) Fallon Range Training Complex, Nevada. The total area of coverage of this terrain data set is 65.81 sq km.

The MetaVRC, MetaVR’s low profile, lightweight, and portable aircraft, built for autonomous aerial surveying by Swift Radioplanes, captures still-frame images at 2 cm per-pixel resolution. Once the imagery is orthorectified it can be compiled with high-resolution elevation data to build a realistic geospecific synthetic environment for rendering at 60 Hz frame rate in MetaVR’s Virtual Reality Scene Generator™ (VRSG™).

The portable aircraft and the real-time scenario shown in the video were on display in MetaVR’s booth at I/ITSEC 2015.
