The development of a platform to mix active imaging sensors into an Augmented Reality Environment. The system makes use of a 2D LiDAR modified into a 3D LiDAR on a mesh network. The 2D LiDAR, alongside a custom designed mount gives the ability to provide a slow rotation rate 3D LiDAR scan of the environment in conjunction with 3D active imaging and sensors. The data can then interpreted by the Unity game engine to be used in applications with multiperspective features in Augmented Reality. The goal of this work is to explore this collected data and apply it to immersive technology applications developed as means towards ongoing open source development.
There is a strong national interest in the observation of ocean surface winds with high spatial and temporal resolution for
understanding tropical cyclones and their effects on weather and climate. In this paper, we will describe the details of an
end-to-end simulation to support the development of the future airborne microwave Hurricane Imaging Radiometer
(HIRAD). This new instrument will extend the measurements of the Stepped Frequency Microwave Imager (SFMR)
from nadir looking only to a wide swath storm coverage of ± 60° earth incidence angel (EIA). A comprehensive
simulation of the instrument radiances measurements during a hurricane overflight was developed based on realistic 3-D
hurricane atmosphere and surface wind field using numerical weather models especially tunes to characterize hurricane
environment. Afterwards, the simulated measurements were perturbed with instrument errors and input to the Maximum
Likelihood Estimation (MLE) retrieval algorithm. Results will show statistical analysis and comparisons of the retrieved
wind speeds and rain rates for different swath locations.
