Abstract
A computer image generation system is described which models objects without the necessity of linear edges. The system is adaptable for dynamic (real time) image generation from a compact model base for use in, for example, flight training systems. Scene content is enhanced by a novel texture generator. The system is designed for use with standard video display equipment.
