Scene generator

A scene generator is a computer model that creates a world representation using phenomenology, physics, and behavioral models, to achieve a useful rendition of the domain of interest. Usually found associated with the synthetic modeling of electro-magnetic spectral domains like Optical or Radio Frequency. A hyperspectral scene generator is when multiple electro-magnetic spectra can be handled simultaneously.

A scene generator is a computer model that creates a world representation using phenomenology, physics, and behavioral models, to achieve a useful rendition of the domain of interest.1 Usually found associated with the synthetic modeling of electro-magnetic spectral domains like Optical (Visible, IR,2 UV) or Radio Frequency. A hyperspectral scene generator is when multiple electro-magnetic spectra can be handled simultaneously.3
