  • Multi-Modal Sensor System Integrating COTS Technology for Surveillance and Tracking

    IEEE International Radar Conference

    The feasibility of low-cost, Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) sensor nodes is studied in a distributed network, aiming at dynamic surveillance and tracking of ground targets. Data acquisition by the low-cost (< $50 US) miniature radar is described. We demonstrate the detection, ranging and velocity estimation capabilities of the mini-radar, and compare results to simulations. Furthermore, we integrate the radar output with supplementary sensor modalities, such as acoustic and vibration…

    The feasibility of low-cost, Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) sensor nodes is studied in a distributed network, aiming at dynamic surveillance and tracking of ground targets. Data acquisition by the low-cost (< $50 US) miniature radar is described. We demonstrate the detection, ranging and velocity estimation capabilities of the mini-radar, and compare results to simulations. Furthermore, we integrate the radar output with supplementary sensor modalities, such as acoustic and vibration transducers, and infrared sensors. The method provides innovative solutions for detecting, identifying, and tracking vehicles and dismounts over a wide area in noisy conditions. This study presents a step towards distributed intelligent decision support and demonstrates effectiveness of small cheap sensors in identifying unique but similar events. Our work supports a pervasive sensor implementation relevant to the affordable open system architecture attribute of the U.S. Air Force Layered Sensing paradigm.

  • Global Game Jam

    The core game was developed in 48 hours for Global Game Jam 2018 with the theme Transmission.

    The Witching Hour is a short horror game about a malevolent spirit that inhabits the house you've just inherited. Possessed appliances are antagonizing the being by transmitting spectral sounds. Keep the appliances quiet to stay alive!

    The Witching Hour Team:

    Andrew McCracken - Programming
    Ryan Wickman - Programming
