Abstract: An apparatus for providing enhanced radar video processing may include a processing element. The processing element may be configured to receive, from a state table that is oriented in a fixed orientation, data based on a radar return, to store a texture corresponding to an image based on the received data, the texture being oriented with respect to a center of a radar sweep, to define a plurality of adjacent vertex buffers, and to map the texture to at least one of the vertex buffers in which portions of the texture are capable of being scrambled within at least one of the vertex buffers.

Abstract: A scan conversion is provided which allows the scan converter to work with data in its most convenient format in a radar memory. A displayable image is mirrored to a graphics memory simultaneously with the write portion of the radar memory of the scan conversion process. On every write to the radar memory, radar data is simultaneously converted to associated colors by indexing a color look-up table and writing the indexed color to the graphics memory. A simulated phosphor decay for the display is provided by decreasing the intensity of each pixel in the radar memory once each antenna scan and similarly decreasing the intensity of data in corresponding locations in the graphics memory to simulate the decay of a phosphor coated screen in a CRT display. The signals in the graphics memory are coupled to a display at a rate that simulates a display on a phosphor coated screen.
