Course of Action Analysis Within a Strategic/Tactical Planning Environment

Not Available Shadow Buffer Control Module Research and Design will include software prototyping to identify which adjustments of Low-Cost Digital Display Based Projectors can be effectively user- controlled or automated. Initial research directions will explore utilization of per pixel parallel buffers that will modify simulation calculated pixels for intensity, position offsets and warping prior to the digital information being output to the digital display device. Rapid prototyping of control algorithms will leverage an existing low-cost testbed with COTS multiple graphics board which currently implements 4 digital buffers to produce full screen anti-aliasing. Research will include investigation of algorithms from simple linear transforms to innovative concepts using Condition Logic, Neural Network and Genetic algorithms. It is envisioned that the more advanced algorithms can be utilized as initialization functions (i.e., learning modes) in an automated methodology similar to the auto convergence features on existing CRT projectors. Critical requirements will be driven by Human Factors and Human sensor limits so as to right size the effective adjustments, for digital displays including helmet-mounted. Further, the reuse of this technology may have direct benefits for related research. The research and design efforts will include reuse of the Shadow Buffer Control Module for Sensor Fusion and Synthetic Vision Applications.
