Medical Simulation

Diamond Visionics has extensive experience and an expert knowledge base with medical and surgical simulation. Our products feature:

Minimally invasive surgery
Uteroscopy simulation
Laparoscopic simulation (provides a view of the
human body through a simulated laparoscopic
camera, so you can control the instruments that interact with the computer-generated image of the body cavity and organs.

IG-Independent, PC-Based
Dynamic Terrain.

The Dynamic Terrain (DT) is a software framework that can be integrated with existing simulation systems. It is scene-graph and hardware independent. Our product offers the following features:

Visualization
    The DT modifies the scene-
    graph polygons at runtime to
    match terrain modifications.
Modification
Craters, tracks, tires, blades, buckets and
footprints using a realistic soil model.
Distribution
    Protocol-neutral, allowing for
    interoperability via TCP/IP, DIS, HLA
    and others.
Efficiency
Minimal resource requirements. Can be
co-hosted on existing IG hardware.
Database Format Independent
Works with many existing databases
including OpenFlight, SEDRIS transmittals, CGF databases, and others.

Fixed Eyepoint Database Builder

A 2 1/2-dimensional process/tool to develop databases directly from photographs, the databases are scene-graph and hardware independent. Diamond Visionics' Fixed Eyepoint Database Builder offers the following features:

Rapid turnaround at low cost
    Superior database quality in a
    fraction of the time when
    compared to traditional 3D modeling.
Photo-realistic
Objective result derived directly from photographs.
True geo-specific content with no artistic license.
Highly accurate
Integrated with ground truth data for superior coordinate
system validation.
Depth-encoded
The database has depth per pixel for turnkey support of
occulting, fog and IG coordinate system integration.
Highly optimized
Minimal texture memory and terrain polygons allow for
hardware budget to be used for dynamic modeling.
IG-independent
    The database will integrate with any runtime visual
    and utilize the current sky model, TOD lighting,
    shadows, weather, etc.
