The article presents a method for creating 3D radar imaging. This requires the use of a special image registration technique that ensures the acquisition of information about the third coordinate. This coordinate is the amplification of the radar signal, which is directly proportional to the effective reflection surface of the observed objects. USING 3-DIMENSIONAL VISUALIZATION OF RADAR INFORMATION The paper presents the method for building 3D radar visualization. The method requires applying a special technique for radar images registration which makes it possible to obtain information about third coordinate, i.e. about amplification of radar signal which is directly proportional to effective surface of reflection of observed objects.1. INTRODUCTION
Modern navigation radars do not have the capability to visualize 3D radar imaging. However, the development of technology in the field of digital signal processing has increased the possibilities for transforming radar information into various digital representations. The ability to save these images has also increased. By using devices for processing and recording radar images, so-called RSC (Radar Scan Converter) systems, radar images can be recorded and processed in real time. The application of modern computer techniques used in computer graphics allows for fast and easy processing of a radar image into a three-dimensional form. The standardization of 3D radar image creation should also be developed to align with the 3D electronic map standards increasingly used in navigation.
2. CONCEPT OF RADAR IMAGE CREATION
3D electronic maps may soon become the mandatory standard used not only in land and air navigation but also in maritime navigation. (…)
