  • Patent number: 11694089
    Abstract: A simulation environment is disclosed. In embodiments, the simulation environment includes deep learning neural networks trained to generate photorealistic geotypical image content while preserving spatial coherence. The deep learning networks are trained to correlate geo-specific datasets with input images of increasing detail and resolution to iteratively generate output images until the desired level of detail is reached. The correlation of image input with geo-specific data (e.g., labeled data elements, land use data, biome data, elevational data, near-IR imagery) preserves spatial coherence of objects and image elements between output images, e.g., between adjacent levels of detail and/or between adjacent image tiles sharing a common level of detail.

  • Patent number: 11544832
    Abstract: A simulator environment is disclosed. In embodiments, the simulator environment includes graphics generation (GG) processors in communication with one or more display devices. Deep learning neural networks running on the GG processors are configured for run-time generation of photorealistic, geotypical content for display. The DL networks are trained on, and use as input, a combination of image-based input (e.g., imagery relevant to a particular geographical area) and a selection of geo-specific data sources that illustrate specific characteristics of the geographical area. Output images generated by the DL networks include additional data channels corresponding to these geo-specific data characteristics, so the generated images include geotypical representations of land use, elevation, vegetation, and other such characteristics.
