# DF Aggregator

## New Features December 2020:
- Added option to invert (uninvert?) the DOA bearing. If you're using a KerberosSDR,
  keep this option checked.
- LOBs are drawn for each receiver. The orange lines extending from each receiver
  show the direction the signal is coming from. Currently the line is fixed to 40km
  draw distance.
- Receivers can be added from the WebUI
    - Click the + at the bottom of the receiver cards, enter the URL, click save.
    Click the refresh button to update the cards and map.
- A list of receiver URLs is now optional. Receivers are saved to the database.
    - Receivers are read from the database first. Duplicate receiver URLs are ignored.
- You can mark a receiver as mobile.
    - Click the edit icon for the applicable receiver, click the checkbox to mark
      it as mobile, then click save.
- You can now delete receivers from the list. This will remove it from the map
and database. No historical data is affected.
- You can now enable/disable LOB collection from individual receivers.
Click the power button to enable/disable.
    - Black is enabled, red is disabled.
- If you lose connectivity to a receiver, that particular receiver will be disabled.
  Click the power button to try to reconnect.
- Map refreshes every ~~5~~ 10 seconds. Change `refreshrate` at the top of `static/receiver_configurator.js` to change the refresh rate.

## Dependencies:
- Python >= 3.6
- [numpy](https://numpy.org/install/)
- [scikit-learn](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/install.html)
- [python-geojson](https://python-geojson.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)
- [czml3](https://github.com/poliastro/czml3)
    - As of this writing, the version from pip does not support ellipses. Please use the version from GitHub.

## Other things you'll need:
- ~[Cesium Ion Token](https://cesium.com/docs/tutorials/quick-start/)~
    - ~Create a single line file named ```accesstoken.txt```~
    - Turns out you can use a public token, you just can't use Cesium Assets.
      Most people don't need to use assets.
- [Extended XML KerberosSDR Software](https://github.com/ckoval7/kerberossdr)
    - This is available for both Qt4 (original version) and Qt5 (Ubuntu 20.04+). Just check out the appropriate branch.

## Usage: df-aggregator.py [options]

### Required inputs:

-  -d FILE, --database=FILE
    - Name of new or existing database to store intersect information.
    - If a database doesn't exist one is created.
    - Post processing math is done against the entire database.

### Optional Inputs:
-  -r FILE, --receivers=FILE
    - List of receiver URLs
    - Do not include quotes. Each receiver should be on a new line.

-  -g FILE, --geofile=FILE
    - GeoJSON Output File
    - Conventional file extension: .geojson

-  -e Number, --epsilon=Number
    - Max Clustering Distance, Default 0.2.
    - 0 to disable clustering.
    - Point spread across a larger geographical area should require a smaller value.
    - Clustering should be disabled for moving targets.

-  -c Number, --confidence=Number
    - Minimum confidence value, default 10
    - Do not compute intersects for LOBs less than this value.

-  -p Number, --power=Number
    - Minimum power value, default 10
    - Do not compute intersects for LOBs less than this value.

-  -m Number, --min-samples=Number
    - Minimum samples per cluster. Default 20
    - A higher value can yield more accurate results, but requires more data.

-  --plot_intersects     
    - Plots all the intersect points in a cluster.
    - Only applies when clustering is turned on.
    - This creates larger CZML files.

-  -o, --offline
    - Starts program with receiver turned off.
    - Useful for looking at stored data when you can't connect to receivers.

-  --ip=IP ADDRESS
    - IP Address to serve from. Default 127.0.0.1

-  --port=NUMBER
    - Port number to serve from. Default 8080

-  --debug
    - Does not clear the screen. Useful for seeing errors and warnings.

Once the program is running, browse to 127.0.0.1:8080 or whatever IP/Port Number you specified.


## Map Colors:

- A red ellipse represents the significant majority of the intersections in a particular cluster.
  It makes up the full area where the transmitter is most certainly located.
- The large green dot at the center of the ellipse is the likely location of the transmitter.
  It is simply computed as the mean of all intersections in that cluster.
- The smaller dots, if turned on vary in color from red to green. These dots are the individual
  intersections. The color represents the age relative to the full data set. Red is older, green is
  newer. This is very helpful for following moving targets.
