SPx - Modular Software for Radar Processing and DisplaySPx is Cambridge Pixel's integrated radar processing and display software based on COTS software and Open Standards. Summary of benefits:
Available as single modules
to add capability to your existing application, or a fully interoperable suite that
forms a stand-alone application, SPx is modular, flexible and extensible to meet your needs.
Each SPx
module has a well-defined
function and a set of parameters that adjust its operation. Furthermore,
the internal operation of the module may be overriden with your own code that allows
you to add capability, algorithms and extensions to the SPx
framework. With SPx
you are in control of the final application.
SPx Key Features
With SPx you can add specific clutter-processing capabilities into your existing radar processing application, for example, or you can combine several of SPx's modules into a processing chain. Each module has a well-defined set of inputs, outputs and control parameters, allowing the simple addition of one specific capability or offering a full end-to-end processing chain in a turnkey solution. SPx Software
SPx provides a software library based on a set of C++ classes and pre-built servers. You can add the capabilities
you need by simply creating objects
and linking them with your application code. SPx supports client-server
configurations or "integrated" applications with all capability containe din a single executable.
See here for SPx Programming information. SPx provides both radar compression and decompression components that employ algorithms specifically designed for radar video. Careful attention is paid to preserving signal quality and minimising latency for network distribution. The module is fully parameterised and is easily incorporated into a C/C++ based application program, or simply built with other SPx components as needed. Like all other SPx modules, your application remains in control.
SPx provides radar processing capabilities including clutter processing, plot extraction
and target tracking. The software is fully parameterised, allowing you to customise
its behaviour to meet your exact requirements. It is also extensible, allowing you
to use the cababilities that you need, and adding your own special processing if
preferred. Acquire only the modules you need and
SPx is supplied as one or more software modules with well-defined inputs, outputs and control parameters. You can easily add SPx modules into your C/C++ application, adding only the capabilities that you need. Multiple SPx modules can be used by linking them through an SPx Manager that takes responsibility for connecting the output of one module to the input of the next. Your application still gets control of the parameters of each SPx module, where you need it, and you can even add your own modules into the chain if you wish to pre-process the data or add your own capabilities. SPx is unique because it keeps you in control. If you eventually need to enhance or upgrade the functions of an SPx module you can simply drop in a form-fit function replacement, without affecting the rest of the system.

SPx-Scan provides a set of high-performance

generator supports 50 pre-defined patterns, with the option for user-defined modes.
The output data rate is configurable through scan rate and prf, which is programmble
in the range 100 Hz to 10 kHz, and for scanning

generated for multiple radars, allowing multi-radar installations to be simulated.
The remote server may be another SPx application generating video in
SPx format, or else may be a custom application generating video in a supported
format. The SPx architecture is very flexible, so that the addition of custom network
formats straight-forward. Network data comprises video with an optional header,
together with meta data, which may include navigation and status messages. When
network video is received, it may be processed, displayed or recorded with the SPx
objects.

X11. The scan converter accepts radar video from the SPx
input modules or processing chain, and scan converts to a PPI or A-Scan display,
supporting multiple videos in a window and real-time fade.
Contact us to receive a fully working demonstration package showing SPx Software Scan Converter
(PPI and A-Scan) in action. The software runs under Windows XP and provides a self-contained
demonstration of radar scan-conversion overlaid on an S57 chart. The demonstration will run an a laptop computer,
but a mid-range PC is recommended for best performance. The software demonstrates the capabilities of
underlay and overlay windows combined with real-time radar video with smooth fading. Equivalent capability is available for Linux/X Wndows.
