Abstract: To simulate the ship track in the marine virtual battle environment, a novel algorithm based on the single viewpoint video was proposed to reconstruct the ship stern wave. Gaussian filter was used to preprocess the video image and extract the long tail region from the video image; SFS algorithm was employed to compute the height field of the ship stern wave and generate its grid mesh; The normal of each vertex was computed based on the CUDA technology. The experimental results show that the reconstructed stern wave yields a good sense of reality. At the same time, it improves the stern wave reconstruction speed while achieving a balance between the realistic and real-time rendering performance to meet actual needs.

Key words: long tail extract, SFS, wave reconstruction, CUDA
