Abstract
Methods and apparatus for providing realtime, 3D visualization of radar system functionality. A visualization system can receive information from a radar system, such as radar commands and radar parameters. After extracting data from the commands and/or parameters, the visualization system generates a three-dimensional (3D), realtime display showing a field of view (FOV) of radar operations including representations of beams generated by the radar system and targets tracked by the radar system.
Claims17
A method, comprising:
- receiving by a visualization system from a radar system:
- radar commands;
- and
- radar parameters;
- extracting information from fields of the received radar commands and fields of the received radar parameters;
- and
- generating a three-dimensional (3D), realtime display showing a field of view (FOV) of radar operations including representations of beams generated by the radar system and targets tracked by the radar system,
- wherein the display further includes beam history of the beams generated by the radar system and an intensity of beams in the beam history corresponds to an amount of time elapsed since the respective beams were generated.
A virtualization system configured to be coupled to a radar system, comprising:
- a processor and memory configured to:
- receive from the radar system:
- radar commands;
- and
- radar parameters;
- extract information from fields of the received radar commands and fields of the received radar parameters;
- and
- generate a three-dimensional (3D), realtime display showing a field of view (FOV) of radar operations including representations of beams generated by the radar system and targets tracked by the radar system, wherein the display further includes beam history of the beams generated by the radar system and an intensity of beams in a beam history corresponds to an amount of time elapsed since the respective beams were generated.
