Detection Areas are where you want the radars to look for targets. You can define one or more areas and apply tracking parameters to optimise the detection of people or objects within those areas. You can also over-lay one or more areas to create exclusion and partial tracking areas. You can add as many detection areas as you need, they do not need to be adjacent and using multiple areas provides the benefit of using custom detection settings in each area. This can help when fine tuning the system to get the optimal detection performance with minimal false alarms.

Fine Tuning Detection Areas

...

Note

If your radar are not aligned, you will need to align the radar data to your area before you start the finetuning process. Please refer to Radar Alignment.

To fine tune an area:

  1. Within the Configuration Tree, select the desired Radar. You can do this by selecting the 'locate' button.

  2. Within the Selected Entity Info Panel, select Radar Data, to overlay the live radar signal within the site map. It is possible to simultaneously overlay the output from two or more radar sensors. However, this uses a sizable amount of processing power so it is advisable to show no more than two or three sensor outputs at a time.

  3. Select Raw.

  2. Adjust the view within the site map until you can see the detection area boundary you wish to edit.

  3. Click on the Detection Area to select it, then configure it using Standard Creating and Editing; https://navtechradar.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TUN/pages/206602339/Creating+and+Editing+Entities#Standard-Area-and-Shape-Manipulation, using the Raw Data to shape the Detection Area around visible objects and boundaries. For parts of the area that are further from the radar sensor, any given object will produce a wider trace due to the beamwidth of the sensor. Therefore, it may be necessary to widen the area as it stretches away further from the sensor.
