### **Adaptable.**
A **tracking solution** designed for dynamic environments with precision via automated mode-switching - reliability even in the event of a sensor failure or error.
This is (*currently*) a **console application** being built to research movement patterns, Kalman filtering, heat signature detection, and predictive modeling.
**Built with:**
 
**Key Features (Planned):**
Expand
- **Kalman Filtering:** Leverages a few statistical methods for optimal state estimation, ensuring accurate position tracking even in noisy conditions.
- **Heat Signature Detection:** Integrates thermal data to enhance tracking capabilities, enabling the identification of objects based on their heat emissions.
- **Predictive Algorithms:** Employ quick prediction techniques to anticipate movements and improve response times in any potential scenarios.
- **Dead Reckoning Failsafe:** Maintains tracking integrity when GPS or thermal inputs are compromised, ensuring continuous operation through smart estimations of position.
- **Real-Time and Test Modes:** Easily switch between real-time tracking and a comprehensive test mode for simulations and performance evaluations, facilitating robust development and debugging.
- **Built with CMake** for modularity and scalability, this application is designed for developers looking to integrate sophisticated tracking capabilities into their projects.
### **Run and Debug**
Expand
1. **Clone source code or download the `.zip`**
- Clone: `git clone https://github.com/denv3rr/AirTrace`
- `.zip`: https://github.com/denv3rr/AirTrace/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
2. **Build and run** (as of 10/23/2024)
- **To build using CMake:**
- Make sure you have CMake (3.10+): https://cmake.org/cmake/download
- Navigate to `AirTrace\build`
- Run cmake: `cmake ..`
- Build: `cmake --build .`
- The project is built.
- **To run from the `Debug` folder:**
- `cd` from `AirTrace\build` to: `AirTrace\build\Debug`
- Run the `AirTrace.exe` file that you built.
- ````
