In order to provide the most effective training environment, it is necessary to equip modern flight simulators with visual, radar, and sensor displays which depict the real world to a great degree of detail. Unfortunately, DMA data appears inadequate for this type of application since the information provided is far too sparse for realistic scene displays. One potential way to provide high-resolution data bases involves adding detail to DMA data by artificially breaking large features into smaller ones. A technique to perform this 'synthetic breakup' has been developed at ASD for use with DMA level V, a relatively high-detail data base developed to support high-resolution applications. The algorithm uses pattern and homogeneous feature content information to break large areal features, specifically residential and commercial complexes, into individual roads and buildings. This paper will describe the concept of synthetic breakup as defined by ASD, and the algorithms developed to perform it.
