RASPNet: A Benchmark Dataset for Radar Adaptive Signal Processing Applications

The RASPNet dataset consists of 100 realistic scenarios compiled over a variety of topographies and land types from across the contiguous United States, designed to reflect a diverse array of real-world environments

Within each scenario, RASPNet consists of 10,000 clutter realizations from an airborne radar setting, which can be utilized for radar algorithm development and evaluation. RASPNet intends to fill a pressing need in the availability of a large-scale, realistic dataset that standardizes the evaluation of adaptive radar processing techniques

RASPNet CVNN

The RASPNet Complex-Valued Neural Network (CVNN) benchmark comprises feature-label pairs pertaining to five scenarios from RASPNet. The train and test features for each scenario consist of radar return data matrices, which are divided into real and imaginary components. The labels comprise the ground truth target locations for these data matrices.

RASPNet EXAMPLES

The RASPNet EXAMPLES benchmark comprises feature-label pairs pertaining to five scenarios from RASPNet. The features for each scenario consist of heatmap matrices of the NAMF test statistic. The labels comprise the ground truth target locations for these heatmap matrices.
