Generation and analysis of parameterized terrain for land combat.
Abstract
Many current army combat simulation models require
digitized terrain inputs for their execution, resulting
in a costly and time-consuming operation. A methodology
to generate parametric terrain as a function of the
number of hill masses and the height, location, spread,
and slope of the hills is presented in this paper. Modified
bivariate normal (MBVN) distribution function and a
linear function cutting the MBVN function are employed to
achieve the terrain representation. Analysis of various
terrain parameter values was conducted and the significant
trends resulting from the study are described. Finally,
recommendations for future enhancement of the model are
given.
