A method and apparatus are provided for automatically generating a terrain model for display during a simulated flight along a predefined mission route. The apparatus includes a mission profiler that automatically determines the area containing the mission route for which the terrain source data is required and the respective resolution of different regions within the area. The apparatus also includes an apparatus for automatically collecting the terrain source data including a search engine for automatically searching electronic collections of terrain source data to identify terrain source data covering the area containing the mission route. The apparatus also includes an image engine for processing the terrain source data into one or more predefined formats and a terrain engine for automatically compiling the processed data to create a terrain model for display during flight simulation.       Recently Added Patents Interactive phone book Hooded wrap Plush toy Bottle rack Cooking appliance with an oven rack Surface mount bracket Methods and apparatus for mechanical resonating structures   Randomly Featured Patents Garment bag assembly Overland cargo restraint system and method Combined oxygen regulator and conservation device Preparation of high surface area metal fluorides and metal oxyfluorides, especially aluminum fluoride extrudates Magnetic reproducing apparatus having circuit for preventing reversal of white peak Versatile tool rack assembly Safety switch Portable scale with load cell Power adapter for an electronic device Snack food © 2006-2008 PatentGenius.
