IRGen Infrared Modeler

IRGen is an infrared (IR) modeling tool that generates databases for real-time simulation of thermal IR sensors. IRGen runs on any SGI workstations, and accepts as its input visual databases in the MultiGen flight format. IRGen has been specially designed to work in a real-time simulation environment, and supports such real-time features as textures, shading, and fog. IRGen is based on first-principles models; the user can specify the thermal and atmospheric environments, and the characteristics of the IR sensors. The output of IRGen can be used with simulations based on Performer, Open GVS, EasyScene, or Vega. The latest release of IRGen has time-dependent IR signatures.
