A sonar target simulator (“STS”) for training a sonar operator is disclosed. The STS is configured to create a plurality of simulated scenarios within a gaming area having a plurality of environments. The STS includes one or more memory units storing real-world collected data, one or more processing units, and a computer-readable medium. The real-world collected data includes background signatures related to the plurality of simulated environments. The computer-readable medium has encoded thereon computer-executable instructions to cause the one or more processing units to generate a target signature from real-world collected data, generate an environmental model from the real-world data, and combine the target signature with the environmental model to create a simulated scenario, of the plurality of simulated scenarios, for use in the gaming area. In this example, the environmental model corresponds to an environment of the plurality of environments.

The invention relates to the diagnosis of bladder cancer and more specifically to the detection in urine samples of bladder carcinomas of the transitional type. The detection method according to the present invention enables, through the utilization of a DNA chip designed for this purpose, to determine the grade of the detected tumors.
