Synthetic image generator finds a particulary interesting application in simulation. It can be used to assess new optronic systems which can be entirely modelised or even better included in the simulation loop. This paper describes such an hybrid simulator. It also shows that an infrared version of a visible image generator can be obtained without major changes. Finally, the description of some possible testing-bench implementations for optronic devices opens a large field of investigation.
