asmr coding IR seeker tracking algorithm for spin-scan sensor in Ada #asmr #coding #notalking

This small demo illustrates how the IR sensor signal of a guidance system based on spin-scan "rising sun" pattern can be processed in order to detect targets and extract bearing and strength (distance) information. The "rising sun" spin-scan generates basic phase and amplitude modulation that can be analyzed providing multi-target detection within the available Field-Of-View (FOV). However, it is notoriously sensitive to strong IR sources within FOV, like the sun, flares (counter-measures), etc. The Ada programming language is a creation of CII Honeywell Bull company in 1977-1983, under contract to the USA Department of Defense (DoD), with the goal of being the one-fits-all replacement of over 450 other languages used by DoD at that time in various embedded and real-time systems. "Ada" is the credit to Ada Lovelance (1815–1852) or "lady Ada", often referred to as the first computer programmer. The most popular Ada compilers for retro PCs came out Ada came out at the Windows 95/98 era, requiring some DPMI host or extender like DJGPP to run, making it possibly unstable for emulated DOS environments. For this example, OneCompiler.com platform is used instead of a stand-alone native DOS compiler. Enable captions for more details and walk-through.
