Abstract

Method and apparatus for generating image-forming envelope and other wave forms for image display of an area or an object whose image is desired to be simulated. The image-forming envelope wave forms for complex objects and complex area silhouettes are formed as composites of component areas forming the silhouette outline to be imaged in signal form and displayed. Object attitude variations, range variations, and observer-to-object geometry is accommodated.
