APPLICATION OF GIS TECHNIQUES FOR VISUAL DATABASE
GENERATION IN FLIGHT SIMULATION
Dr. B.K. (Kris) Mudunuri
ABSTRACT
This paper presents the application of GIS techniques to generate a large database (12 gigabytes) for use in
flight simulation. The methodology involves use of imagery from multiple sources such as aerial photographs,
sensor data, satellite imagery, etc. GIS techniques such as geocoding, image enhancement, image fusion, etc.,
are utilized to generate "viewplanes" at multiple resolutions. The resulting viewplanes are recorded onto optical
video disks and are accessed in real time by the flight simulator for use by the trainee.
