Methods and apparatus for providing realtime, 3D visualization of radar system functionality. A visualization system can receive information from a radar system, such as radar commands and radar parameters. After extracting data from the commands and/or parameters, the visualization system generates a three-dimensional (3D), realtime display showing a field of view (FOV) of radar operations including representations of beams generated by the radar system and targets tracked by the radar system.

Examples disclosed herein relate to generating continuous visualizations of beam steering vehicle radar scans by acquiring data for a beam steering radar scan, generating a Range Doppler Map (“RDM”) corresponding to the acquired radar data, displaying a visualization of the RDM showing a plurality of identified objects, shifting each identified object by its velocity to generate a shifted RDM, and updating the visualization at a display rate that is higher than a radar scan rate to display continuous movement. The display may be part of an augmented reality system presented to a driver on a windshield or dashboard.

A synthetic visual system for an aircraft may comprise: a camera in electronic communication with a controller; a radar system in electronic communication with the controller; a three-dimensional cockpit display in electronic communication with the controller via a synthetic weather system; and a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the controller. The three-dimensional cockpit display may be configured to display a three-dimensional weather image based on correlated data between the radar system and the camera.

Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide relatively accurate position data from a plurality of separate position sensors. A system includes a logic device configured to first and second position sensors each coupled to a mobile structure at respective first and second locations. The logic device is configured to receive position data corresponding to a position of the mobile structure from the position sensors, determine weighting factors corresponding to the received position data, and determine a measured position for the mobile structure based, at least in part, on the received position data and the determined weighting factors.

A radio frequency (RF) imaging device comprising a display receives a three-dimensional (3D) image that is a superposition of two or more images having different image types, which may include at least a 3D RF image of a space disposed behind a surface. A plurality of input control devices receive a user input for manipulating the display of the 3D image. Alternatively or additionally, the radio frequency (RF) imaging device may receive a three-dimensional (3D) image that is a weighted combination of a plurality of images, which may include a 3D RF image of a space disposed behind a surface, an infrared (IR) image of the surface, and a visible light image of the surface. A user input may specify changes to the weighted combination. In another embodiment, the RF imaging device may include an output device that produces a physical output indicating a detected type of material of an object in the space.
