Abstract :
A radar monitoring system is implemented to evaluate the birds activity and their quantification in the western basin of lake Erie in Ohio. This location is a habitat stopover for migratory birds and also it is a putative area for constructing wind farm. The radar monitoring is performed in three steps consist of data acquisition, blip detections, and target tracking. Blip detection is performed in radR platform and tracking is performed using developed particle filter in MATLAB. The radar monitoring system is used to process data collected in migration period of fall and spring 2011.
