This allows partial plots to be reported on the network, if desired, and allows the tracking process to consider the merits of merging in the context of the local tracks. At this stage of the processing, no merging occurs of close plots that are likely to be derived from the same target. The weighted centre of gravity, bounding box and total weight of the plot shape are calculated and entered into a plot database, along with a timestamp. These spans are then combined across returns to form connected two-dimensional shapes. The Extraction process begins by creating a set of spans that represent intervals of video above a threshold for each processed return. A set of configurable parameters define the target size of interest, allowing small noise returns or larger clutter or land masses to be eliminated early in the processing. The SPx Extraction process examines the processed video to search for target-like returns that form a connected target-like shape. Additionally, SPx Monitor can add resilience to the system by automatically restarting applications which it detects have stopped.

SPx Monitor adds an invaluable layer of monitoring and diagnostics, showing which SPx Server is actively sending data onto the network. The SPx Fusion Server product can be used to support redundant operation, providing a consistent set of track IDs to clients in the event of failover. Receiving clients see a single consistent and uninterrupted stream of radar and target track data.

In the event that the principal instance suffers a failure, the secondary instance detects this situation and automatically takes over transmission of video and/or track data onto the network. The individual instances both run simultaneously, processing the same data in parallel and monitoring each other's status. Redundant Operationĭual instances of SPx Server can be run to provide redundant operation for high reliability systems. Optional video recording capabilities are available in the compatible SPx Record module that records the polar radar video to support, for example, incident recording or training applications. The behaviour of historical track data is analysed to help interpretation providing a first-level classification capability. The filter uses position, size, shape and historical measurements to correlate existing tracks with new data, providing updated positions and dynamics, as well as a confidence estimate. When extracted data is correlated from scan to scan, the track correlator uses multiple hypotheses to support ambiguous interpretations of the radar video. Additionally, user-defined processes may be incorporated into the processing chain to allow a completely custom solution using SPx as the integrating framework. After acquisition and prior to data processing, the video may be passed through the standard SPx processing functions to implement gain control, area-based video removal (masking), CFAR thresholding, interference suppression or other functions.
