A set of software tools and libraries that support reading and decoding of radar video, held as Cambridge Pixel Recording (CPR) files, taken from SPx Server, RadarView or RDR (or other Cambridge Pixel applications with recording function). This supports the development of custom code in C++ or .NET to analyse radar recordings, for example for new algorithm development.
Inspect Radar Returns or Develop New Processing Algorithms
For developers wanting to inspect radar returns or develop new processing algorithms, SPx Open Access provides a streamlined set of capabilities and supporting tools that simplify access to the data, including MATLAB support.
The package includes libraries and tools to access recording files that have been created by an existing Cambridge Pixel application.
For example, an existing SPx Server application with a recording license may have been used to capture radar video of a situation of interest. The recording file is then read by the Open Access library functions and control is provided to invoke user code in C++, .NET or MATLAB in a Windows or Linux application. Includes sample applications in Visual Studio and Linux.
SPx Open Access is also available with a version of our RDR software that may be used to make recordings. This version of RDR is licensed to support acquisition, display and recording of radar video. It may be used to record any format of radar video that is supported by RDR.
Note that where a special unlock code is needed to access radar video, for example with Simrad and Furuno radars, then an extra licence is needed.
