X-IG® Image Generator
Real-Time Image Generator Rendering Engine
CATI′s image generator systems are the ideal choice for the visualization of simulation training systems.
For over twenty years, CATI has been providing unparalleled rendering performance through advanced
software algorithms and optimizations.
CATI′s X-IG® image generator is a Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) product for PC-based visual simulations.
X-IG is specifically designed around industry standard OpenGL®, a high-performance graphics Application
Programming Interface (API), and OpenFlight®, the 3D standard format for the visual simulation industry.
X-IG® is designed to render real-time Out-the-Window (OTW) and sensor scenes for training and
simulation, creating real-world high resolution photorealistic visual and sensor scenes. X-IG® includes
complete physics-based modeling for atmospheric, NVG, DTV, and IR simulations. X-IG® additionally
includes special effects which complement the image generator enhancing scenes.
Currently in use with various military, civilian, and commercial customers, X-IG® provides high-fidelity visualization
for flight simulators and a variety of other training systems. Advanced data compression, optimization, and paging
algorithms allow X-IG® to render high-density, geo-specific databases of unlimited coverage.
Environmental Modeling Editor (EME®)
Environmental Modeling Editor for Rapid Database Enhancement
CATI′s Environmental Modeling Editor (EME®)
software is the perfect solution for the rapid
enhancement of X-IG® databases, allowing the end user
to simply select and place features within the training
environment in minutes.
Stenciling- In real-time, X-IG® and EME® will cut, stitch, and smooth the underlying
terrain to allow the user to seamlessly and easily add custom or generic airfields
to existing geo-specific terrain databases.
Increased Realism - EME® provides the capability to achieve unmatched realism for navigation and
orientation cues, final approaches, pattern references, and visual check points.
Real-Time Editing - EME® suite provides a user friendly, real-time integrated viewer and access to several feature libraries containing
various cultural models and features. Data elements are added using a drag and drop interface and can subsequently
be scaled, moved, rotated and then saved to small, easily distributed data files. The addition of new airports,
terminals, and airfield features and the populating of entire urban scenes including buildings has never been this easy.
Cost Savings - EME® lets you freely and continually update airfields and training areas of interest without incurring the high cost and
lengthy delays associated with republishing training databases. EME® was designed to meet emerging FAA/JAA
standards as simulator certification dictates.
X-Gen® Generic Unmanned Aircraft System Trainer
High Fidelity Unmanned Systems Simulation
CATI has designed a High-Fidelity Virtual Training and Testing System
focused on the unique requirements of the commercial/civil community.
X-Gen® incorporates the latest technology for training payload and air
vehicle operators from basic through full-operational, location-specific training,
and rehearsal procedures.
X-Gen® is based on CATI′s proven image generator
software for real-time scene rendering of the sensor views. X-Gen® also has an
open architecture design which provides a programmable 6-DOF aero-model
that supports any air vehicle control, menus, cued symbology, and 2D map display.
X-Gen® is scalable to run on a laptop, desktop, or full Ground Control Station
configuration. Users have the capability to design and train on custom
scenarios as well as add future updates.
