Abstract
A method and system (10) for generating a reconfigurable terrain and culture database of a simulated environment. Terrain and culture data are extracted from at least one of a plurality of digital data sources (14), and the extracted data is transformed into a predetermined central database format (22) from which the extracted data may be edited (24) and formatted (28) for a particular imaging system. The terrain and culture data are not merged until formatting in order to enable rapid reskinning of the terrain or the addition of further culture detail.
