Abstract
An image processing system is disclosed wherein information corresponding to a selected geographical region or geometric system is stored and selectively retrieved and processed to reproduce images corresponding to selected portions of the geographical or geometric system. In a preferred embodiment, the information is initially recorded photographically and subsequently stored in a digital recording system. Processing, memory, and control systems are employed for producing video signals to be provided to video display units, for producing simulated real time images corresponding to the selected portion of the geographical or geometric system.
