Abstract

Abstract: The market of maritime training simulators is as important as the market of aeronautical training simulators. Many maritime accidents are caused by piloting errors in critical situations. Such situations are usually due to the environment (waves and stream). Hence, the main challenge of the maritime simulator is to simulate this environment as accurately as possible and more precisely to simulate ocean waves. Nowadays, two kinds of wave simulation theories are presented. Firstly, accurate models are created by physicists. In computer graphics, researchers put forward some more simple physically-based models in order to produce static photo-realistic images. This paper sets out to describe a new efficient real-time model of wave propagation and shows its integration in a real maritime simulator.
