Virtual Kismayo, Somalia Kismayo, Somalia Terrain Specifications Imagery coverage = 50 cm per-pixel Digital Globe (GeoEye-1) satellite imagery covering 1,017 sq km of the southern Somalia port city and are blended into 15 meters-per-pixel (mpp) natural view imagery Elevation coverage = SRTM void filled elevation source data. Cultural features MetaVR’s terrain is populated with hundreds of geographically specific culture models built from ground-level photographs taken on the streets of Kismayo. In addition to these geolocated and photographically specific models of buildings and other structures, several hundred other buildings were modeled by matching the structural footprints visible in the imagery as geographically typical models with culturally and architecturally accurate details. MetaVR’s virtual city contains varied terrain representative of important training environments, from a built-up port to dense urban streets to a sparsely populated outer region that includes a commercial airport. Virtual Afghanistan Village Imagery coverage The overall imagery resolution of the virtual terrain of the whole country is 2.5 meters per pixel. The terrain, built Cultural features with MetaVR’s Terrain Tools for Esri® ArcGIS®, includes an area of 1,120 sq. km of 60 cm Digital Globe commercial The village area has approximately 520 custom-built 3D structures that match the building satellite source imagery and 90 meter elevation posts. Within this area is the highly detailed 2 sq. km terrain of a footprints visible on the source imagery. All 3D content was created in Autodesk 3ds Max, 3D geospecific Afghan village. This terrain was made entirely from commercial, non-export controlled source data. and is referenced by the terrain’s cultural feature file at run time; the content is rendered by Virtual Reality Scene Generator ™ (VRSG™) at run-time as part of the terrain. Many of Elevation coverage the buildings are multi-level and contain modeled interiors. Open doorways, translucent The effective terrain elevation resolution is much higher in the village areas as the construction of inferred cultural windows, and stairways, contribute to making the structures within the virtual village features from the geospecific imagery such as courtyards, tree line, and crops further define the elevation relief. suitable for tactical scenarios. The textures of many cultural features are derived from This terrain is built entirely from commercial, non-export controlled source data. Using MetaVR’s terrain workflow publicly available photographs found on the Internet. Geospecific agricultural fields are also process, additional terrain areas can be readily constructed. modeled and can be tailored to represent various crop types over different seasons.
