Follow on Google News | Quantum3D Selects TerraMetrics 3D Terrain-rendering Engine and Global Satellite ImageryTerraMetrics, Inc., announces that Quantum3D has licensed its TerraBlocks 3D terrain-rendering engine, TruEarth global imagery and terrain data to add a new global 3D rendering capability to Quantum's Human Machine Interface toolkit.
By: TerraMetrics, Inc. Developed to meet the rigorous performance requirements of the embedded flight environment, the TerraBlocks 3D terrain-rendering engine delivers accurate, deterministic rendering and uses a proprietary file compression format, which substantially reduces data size. The rendering engine’s ability to support high-definition displays and high-resolution imagery insets, such as airport runway features, make it especially suitable for simulation and in-flight entertainment applications. The TerraBlocks 3D terrain-rendering engine runs on a lightweight CPU/GPU platform with Windows and Linux operating systems. “The flexibility and portability features of IData, IData3D and IDataMap combined with the TerraMetrics TerraBlocks and TruEarth plug-ins bring an exceptionally powerful, cost-effective development and deployment solution to market,” said Mike Gyde, Quantum3D Embedded Business Development Manager. “The merging of these technologies has produced a state-of-the- “Our 3D terrain-rendering engine paired with our TruEarth 15-meter imagery and terrain data provides a robust, efficient solution for many applications that require global rendering,” stated TerraMetrics president Greg Baxes. “Quantum3D’ About TerraMetrics Founded in 1998, TerraMetrics, Inc., develops high-precision terrain-rendering technologies for aviation, simulation and geospatial markets. TerraMetrics was one of the first to produce and market natural-color global satellite imagery and is forging new ground in interactive 3D terrain rendering and display. As a government contractor, TerraMetrics is currently researching and developing synthetic vision systems for the Air Force that provide helicopter pilots with a continuously updated 3D terrain model of their physical landing location during zero-visibility conditions. The company is also investigating and developing a web service architecture for NASA that stores, processes and delivers massive, multi-dimensional science data sets to web-based geospatial browsers such as Google Earth.
