Modular Solutions For Radar Video Processing And Display

Radar Processing and Scan Conversion Solutions for Windows and Linux/X11

Cambridge Pixel provides off-the-shelf radar acquisition, processing, tracking and display solutions from our SPx and HPx product families for applications in naval command and control, air traffic control, vessel traffic and air-borne radar applications.

Software-based Radar Scan Conversion

Radar Compression and Distribution

Radar Processing

HPx Radar Interface Cards (PCI and PMC)

Primary Radar Tracking

The SPx radar processing family takes full advantage of high-performance, multi-core processors and graphics (GPU) processors, reducing maintenance costs and dependence on specialised hard-to-replace custom hardware.

The SPx Toolkit is designed to be flexible, extensible and open. Our SPx Scan Converter is a powerful and highly flexible display tool for presenting real-time radar displays. It provides real-time fading and supports multi-channel scan conversion allowing different radar inputs to be displayed simultaneously in multiple colours.

HPx-100 PCI and HPx-150 PMC Radar Interface Cards

The HPx-100 PCI and HPx-150 PMC Radar Interface cards provide an easy and cost-effective acquisition solution for primary radar

video.

The cards interface to analogue or digital radar signals and capture primary video for processing or display. The cards are available with accompanying low-level drivers for Windows and Linux, and may optionally be supplied with SPx server software for radar video distribution, plot extraction, tracking or radar recording.

Radar Display on a PC

The HPx-100 radar interface card and SPx Scan Converter provide a cost-effective solution to the display of primary radar video on a PC. You can develop their own application using the SPx modules to handle all radar acquisition, processing and display (including mixing of radar with overlay and underlay graphics), or you can use the SPx FrameWin application to provide an out-of-the-box radar display application with radar, overlay and underlay maps.

Primary Radar Tracker

SPx Track is a cost-effective, full-featured primary radar tracker, which is available as a C++ software library, or as a Linux/Windows application server. It provides multi hypothesis tracking that can simultaneously consider multiple interpretations of measurement data. This offers excellent robustness and tracking performance when compared with simpler single hypothesis products. SPx Track provides an optional GUI display for system monitoring and control. Radar processing functions (STC, FTC, area blanking, thresholding) are available through the GUI, which also provides for display and and control the tracking parameters. Learn more about SPx Track
