SE-WORKBENCH: multi-sensor physical simulation
The SE-Workbench is an efficient and professional workshop for synthetic environment data
modelling and exploitation in a study or training simulation. The SE-WorkbenchTM provides
all the simulation services of the perception of an Electro-Optic (EO = visible, infrared
and intensification of light), Radio-Frequency (RF = radar and antenna) and Active Imagery Domain
(AD = Laser) sensor immersed in a complex synthetic environment.
SE-Workbench-EO: context of use
The EO version of the SE-Workbench can be used both in Real-Time (graphic board technology)
and non Real-Time (ray-tracing technology).The ray-tracing technology is used for automatic
target recognition algorithm validation and qualification, for validation purposes, tracking
algorithm development. The graphic board technology is used for the same purpose but also for
SWIL or HWIL applications.
SE-Workbench-RF: context of use
The Radio-Frequency part of SE-Workbench software applies to radar simulation and electromagnetic simulation.
The radar simulation can be used to compute RCS signatures of complex objects, SAR images of wide terrains,
pulse Doppler radar signals of moving targets or ISAR signatures for automatic target recognition.
The electromagnetic field mode is used for antenna compatibility computation, ambient field calculation on large 3D terrain.
SE-Workbench-AD: context of use
The Active Domain part of SE-Workbench software applies to laser simulation.
The laser simulation is devoted to the rendering of a synthetic environment illuminated by a laser source.
SE-WORKBENCH-AD takes advantage of SE-WORKBENCH-EO and SE-WORKBENCH-RF approaches: It takes into account
the complex EO radiative transfer equation using sophisticated models of BRDF and atmospheric propagation.
It also takes advantage of the geometrical optics treatment made in the frame of SE RAY-EM; typically
accumulating the range of each ray in order to compute the distance information. It is used to simulate
the range gating capacities of the system.
