Radar Intersection Collision Prediction System (R-ICPS)

NB - Offline python proc exists in the folder

TO DO

1. Modify Python algorithm with SOCA CFAR and PFa = 0.008
2. Get more IQ data
3. Test real time Python after update
4. Design chapter
5. Results chapter
6. Apply Lit review fixes after Yunus reviews

Report notes

• Focus on MATLAB stuff in the 'advanced' directory of traingle FMCW DSP
• Add waterfall and other plot from pulse mean canceller and compare pre and post calibration
• finish up results, then either neaten or add to design and lit review
• Check with supervisors etc
• Rather have slightly more words than just on the verge of enough

Task list

• Add all work to report - remember to use issues and discussions from old repo
• Improve bin method by restricting 'search' area for triangle modulation/ I.e. based on fbd, where can we expect fbu?
• Improve Python OS CFAR
• Test full Python realtime version on PC and RPI
• Integrate Pi camera and show real time plots of spectra, results, and video (similar to MATLAB offline processing)
• Modify real time Python program to work with two uRADs
• Modify dual radar Python program to incorporate two cameras. Pi can support one Pi cam and one USB camera
• Consider a Pi network - control and sensor nodes
• Create condensed Python program (no GUI) as required by the prototype
• Test system - both GUI and no GUI - on road side
• Install system on car and test in controlled and (or) road environments
• Neaten simulations and present in report
• clean up/neaten repository

Notes:

• add data and library folders to MATLAB path after clone not needed if addpath() is called in each script
• Data collection/radar programs are in data/urad_usb
• make sure textfiles/data is never committed - deletion will not remove data from version history and so increase repo size
• in the event a repo gets too large, use filter-repo (3rd party program) to filter *.txt etc and push to a new repo
• USB for linux found using lsusb. Currently using ACM0. Device is infineon technologies
