This page summarizes radR features, most of which are implemented as plugins. Not every plugin is loaded by default, but you canload them manually and/or have radR load them automatically.
Data sources (*: requires 3rd party hardware)
antenna: load, edit, and save antenna characteristics
seascan(*): acquire data from a Rutter Inc. Sigma S6 digitizer card via Seascan server
seascanarch: read raw radar data from .DAT files recorded by Rutter Seascan software
usrp(New May 2012): acquire data from an Ettus Research USRP-1 with LFRX daughterboard and custom electrical front-end
xir3000 (*): acquire data from a Russell Technologies Inc. XIR3000 USB video processor board
xir3000arch: read raw radar data from folders of .REC files created by RTI software
video: process camera movies (e.g. radar display screenshots) in rectangular coordinates using radR's algorithms and interface
genblips: generate artificial data from a simple, customizable dynamic model of target motion
speed-ups - some critical sections of code (including tracking infrastructure) need to be rewritten in C, C++, or tcl to get them up to real-time operating speeds under realistic conditions.
support for tilted t-bar antennas (where the plane of rotation is not horizontal), including clipping the ground-echo portion of scans
