Civilian Vehicle Data Dome Overview

This dataset contains simulated X-band scattering data for civilian vehicles. For the ten facet models, a high-frequency electromagnetic scattering code, was used to produce fully polarized far-field monostatic scattering for 360 degrees azimuth and elevation angles from 30 to 60 degrees.

The CV Domes Sample Dataset is a single DVD containing:

• X-band scattering data for elevation angles 30, 40, 50, 60 degrees from the 10 civilian vehicles
• Matlab code to generate images from the scattering data

Data product above is available for immediate DOWNLOAD.

The full CV dataset (369 GB) contains:

• X-band scattering data for elevations at 0.0625 degree intervals from 30 to 60 degrees from the 10 civilian vehicles
• Matlab code to generate images from the scattering data
