Students should design, deploy, and test a network consisting of multiple (at least two) static or mobile sensing platforms equipped with one each of various sensors. These sensors will include, at minimum, a mmWave 80GHz radar and a visual camera. The sensing platforms must be capable of communicating with an additional coordination platform, which will combine the sensed data to perform data fusion. The coordination platform should be able to identify position, range, and identification of the target. This full system should be tested and demonstrated to work properly using multiple different targets at multiple ranges and positions. The group should demonstrate cases in which the system fails to accurately track or identify a target with only the individual sensors but can successfully identify when all sensors are used simultaneously in data fusion. This effort is expected to span two semesters, with the outcome from the first team being transferred to the second team for completion. Deliverables: ? CLIN-1 - Market Survey and Feasibility Study ?
