What can a few points tell you about a field?
Select a point on the terrain, then choose Converge. Watch the estimate settle. Compare the authored points with the field drawn between them.

About this tool
What you are looking at
Each authored point contributes a fixed-width Gaussian. The tool adds those contributions, clips the field to the points’ convex hull, and maps complexity d to height through alpha. The terrain between points is interpolation, not a measured landscape or physical return. The forward lanes are inferred scenarios without probabilities or forecasts; convergence means the displayed estimate has stabilized, not that the situation is complete.
How to use it
Drag to orbit and select a point on the terrain to place a read. Adjust K between SAR-like sensor motion and ISAR-like scene motion. Converge iterates the displayed alpha toward its fixed value, Compose data adds synthetic points, and Reset restores the starter field. Read d, alpha, and the convergence trace; the evolve, hold, and dissolve lanes remain illustrative.
