CA-CFAR & range subresolution logging tool
image-20240626-145400.png image-20240626-145313.png
Linux command-line tool to process the “raw” output from a radar using Cell-Averaging CFAR, followed by peak-finding subresolution to return the coordinates of the centre of a peak in radar return. Usage examples and syntax description here.

The peak-finding can operate in one dimension (“just” range, along each azimuth of data in turn, or can alternatively operate in both range and azimuth, to return a centre point in both range and bearing for a contiguous ‘blob’ of bins.

Tool to produce a TCP network stream of CA-CFAR filtered data
image-20240626-145400.png image-20240626-145313.png
This application connects to a stream of FFT message output from a radar or playback.
The application listens to the Colossus type 30 messages in the stream and processes each azimuth of data in turn using a Cell-Averaging CFAR method. In order to easily view the output, the application produces a network stream of FFT messages, populated with the CA-CFAR filtered output.
By creating a standard colossus message output from this tool, existing visualisation tools can be used to view CA-CFAR filtered output from a radar, which can be particularly useful when identifying suitable CFAR parameters (window-size, number of guard-cells & delta-threshold) to be applied in order to achieve optimum results.
