3D Visualization of the Radar Environment

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, a new method for 3D visualization of radar electromagnetic environment is presented. This method is based on derivation of the radar equation, from the perspectives of pitch and azimuth angles to achieve 3D modeling of radar coverage through discrete subdivision, and the radar model possesses self-adaptability to different levels of detail. Our method ensures that the model shape conforms to the radar’s attributes. Compared to conventional methods, the experiments show that our method has better efficiency, adaptability, and accuracy in accomplishing the radar 3D modeling and rendering.
