Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of radar terminal display processing technology, and is a new radar information display method that combines traditional radar B-display with map information. Background Technology

[0002] As an indispensable and important component of the radar system itself, the radar display terminal undertakes the important tasks of radar information output and human-computer interaction. Its main function is to intuitively display information such as target position, motion status, characteristic parameters and air situation.

[0003] With the continuous innovation and development of radar technology, radar information display has evolved from dedicated displays to multi-functional displays, placing higher demands on display methods and technologies. Radar display equipment has progressed from CRT analog displays and color CRT analog displays to later color flat-panel digital displays, and the target and terrain information contained in the radar display interface has become increasingly rich. In the early stages of radar development, a single information display mode typically required a specific display, which also became a method of distinguishing radar display methods; for example, displays showing distance information were called distance displays. With the development of radar technology, multiple target information parameters and image information can be displayed on a single screen, and radar displays for different purposes have also developed accordingly. Current radar information display forms include distance displays (A-type, A / R-type), planar position displays (P-type, B-type), altitude displays (E-type), and so on.

[0004] Range display is a one-dimensional display method. As the name suggests, it only displays target range information, using the horizontal offset of the target's light spot from the reference point to represent the target's slant range. Single-dimensional radar displays have certain limitations. Most mainstream radars currently use two-dimensional (range-azimuth) displays, which can provide the target distribution within a planar range and are the most widely used radar display forms. Among these, P-type and B-type displays are the most common. The P-type display uses radial scanning polar coordinates, while the B-type display uses linear scanning rectangular coordinates. The P-type display can provide all information on the plane within the range, while the B-type display is designed for a smaller azimuth range monitored by the radar. Because the P-type display's image distribution is similar to that of general radar systems... Figure 1 Therefore, P-display overlays map information to better display target location information. However, since P-display itself focuses more on displaying all information on the plane, it inevitably loses detail judgment when monitoring a specific location. Summary of the Invention
