Definitions

  • the invention relates to a radar system and method, in particular for tracking players of a game on a playing area.
  • each radar unit is positioned for tracking players on a rectangular playing area such as a soccer pitch.
  • the radar units are positioned near, or behind, each corner of the pitch and have scanning areas corresponding to the opposite half of the pitch.
  • Each radar unit may be elevated to a height of between 2 and 4 metres above the pitch, and preferably about 3 metres above the pitch.
  • the radar units positioned near the comers at one end of the pitch both scan the opposite end of the pitch and are spaced by a sufficient angle that their outputs can be combined to improve the resolution of the tracks of the players in the opposite half of the pitch. .
  • a second radar unit scanning the same area may have a clearer view.
  • the (second) feature server for the second radar unit may track the target but that the (first) feature server for the first radar unit may not track the weaker return, or signal, that it receives from the same target.
  • the track combiner may be programmed to feed back to the first feature server the location of the target as tracked by the second radar unit, so that the first feature server can use this approximate location information to help it to track the target using the weaker return to the first radar unit.
