    Abstract: Systems and techniques for generating an artificial terrain map can compute a region of a noise map in an N-dimensional space and define a terrain characteristic in correspondence with a value of the noise map at each of a selected plurality of positions within the region of the noise map. The terrain characteristic can be projected at each of a selected plurality of positions within the region on a lower-dimensional sub-space. A map of an artificial terrain can be rendered based on the projection. The map of the artificial terrain can be scaled or otherwise manipulated in correspondence with scaling or otherwise manipulating the lower-dimensional sub-space. Generated maps in machine-readable form can be converted to a human-perceivable form, and/or to a modulated signal form conveyed over a communication connection.

    Abstract: Systems and techniques for generating an artificial terrain map can select a plurality of component terrains for each of several terrain types. Values of a selection noise map ranging between a lower bound and an upper bound can be computed on a tile-by-tile basis. One or more noise bands within the range of selection-noise-map values can correspond to each terrain type. The noise map can be sampled on a tile-by-tile basis to determine a tile value for each tile. Each respective tile can be assigned to the noise band in which the tile value falls. A terrain value can be assigned to each respective tile in the selection noise map based on the noise band assigned to the respective tile. Generated maps in machine-readable form can be converted to a human-perceivable form, and/or to a modulated signal form conveyed over a communication connection.
