- render a visual scene (as perfly, for example)
- change the visually rendered colors to specific grayscale values through
some sort of lookup mechanism
- add noise (having specific statistical characteristics) to the rendered
grey image in real time
The scope of this task will involve database handling issues (format
translations or enhancements), so expertise with E&S systems and/or
MultiGen would be great.
This simulation will run in real time on an SGI platform 'slaved' to
an E&S system, which provides aircraft coordinates to the SGI system
over Ethernet, to 'position' the eyepoint in the SGI-based simulation.
Expertise in interfacing to TCP/IP, or in interprocess communication,
would also be great. The real time aspect of this simulation will require
familiarity with SGI Onyx-level graphics hardware, and experience with
multithreaded applications would be useful.
This simulation needs to be completed in a very short timeframe (< 6
months), and the work can be carried out in the Bay Area or in Portland, OR.
Interfacing to the E&S system as well as final debugging and installation
of the SGI platform will involve some travel to the Minneapolis/St. Paul
area.
This simulation is intended to run in a fully certified civilian aircraft
simulator operated by a major US airline, and is part of an exciting
high-technology development program with possible far reaching future impact
on civilian and military aviation.
The successful applicant is likely to be an individual with detailed
knowledge of Performer, and with the ability to incorporate enhancements
into the rendering paradigm as required, in an imaginative, efficient and
timely fashion. This individual will undoubtedly have a demonstrated track
record for on-time delivery of code under consulting arrangements.
