Multiple Image Generator Databases: Final Report
Curtis R. Lisle · Journal of International Crisis and Risk Communication Research · 1992
In 8 h eterogeneous network of visual simulators, there is a basic conceptual problem: h ow can dissimilar image generators be made to render scenery which is sufficiently correlated that the training is not compromised?The U.S. Department of Defense has aponsored Project 2851 in order to reduce the repeated cost of preparing similar databases (or multiple image generators.Upon th e basis of Project 2851, the Institute for Simulation and Training has constructed the Multiple Image Generator Database (MIDB) project The MIDB project supports the initial construction of 8 visual database and its simultaneous formatting onto two image generators.Training effectiveness will be dependent on the degree of correlation between the image generator databases.Determining correlation requires selecting metrics applicable to the training need and analyzing the results of these metrics.Experimental work is required to determine which metrics are most appropriate for each type of correlation.
