Abstract

Building a labeled database usually requires extensive work when the labeling is not automated. This paper presents a methodology to build a labeled database of aircraft radar signature (specifically radar cross section) using the OpenSky Network data. This method relies on a radar system steered by the live API to automatically select, track and measure target aircraft according to custom user rules. The OpenSky ADS-B database allows for an efficient processing of the radar data, as it provides ranging and speed information to locate the region of interest inside the radar data. In addition, the ADS-B and Mode-S databases give an estimate of the attitude of the aircraft, which is paramount for signature measurement. We also compare the ADS-B data with the radar data.
