Signal Processing of X-band FMCW radar for infestation Monitoring of grain silos
Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject SummaryFrequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) Radar is used to detect an object in motion and its range which a normal camera cannot visualize. We are using SAR imaging techniques to visualize the objects in motion. This algorithm is designed to enhance the visualization cabability of Radar so it can be displayed on an LCD screen.
Project Objectives-To Develope an Image algorithm for Visualization of objects via Radar
-To obtain a real time image using Digital Signal Processing kit
-To help the agricultural industry in monitering food storages
-
Project Implementation Method HARDWARE Design
SAR Algorithm: 
Calculations:
With help of this project our agriculture sector can benefit from it by monitoring our storage facilities. Pakistan faces billions of loss every year due to infestation of grain silos that stores tonnes of wheat. This is because of improper monitering facilities availble with the government. We have proposed a solution for visualizing/detecting the insects long before they spread out in the grain silos which can be then eliminated.
Our Final output will be an image showing the symptoms of infestation. It can be detected at an early age to stop its mass spreading.
Downrange is the distance from the object to radar (in feets) while the Crossrange is the movement of radar for acquisition of image data.
