Abstract
Recognition of predetermined critical objects in a graphic display is enhanced by storing a plurality of object descriptions which are segmented into critical objects and background objects in an image database. The critical objects and the background objects are transferred to a computing engine which renders the critical objects and the background objects according to expert user recommendations. The critical objects are rendered separately with acuity enhancements to generate enhanced critical objects to greatly improve the realistic impression of the object in simulators. The background objects and the enhanced critical objects are then transferred into a memory buffer as a graphic image and it is then displayed at a single resolution.
