SkyRadar

SkyRadar is a scientific image analysis application designed for meteorological radar interpretation and astronomical imaging analysis on Android smartphones and tablets. The application uses a grayscale-first processing framework based on luminance modelling to analyse satellite, radar, and astrophotography images. By converting RGB data into standardised grayscale intensity values, SkyRadar enables consistent and physically interpretable image analysis across different observational conditions. 🌍 Core Capabilities SkyRadar provides advanced tools for: • Cloud structure and density estimation • Cyclone and storm morphology analysis • Radar signal attenuation modelling • Atmospheric reflectivity interpretation • Surface brightness profiling • Optical depth estimation • Celestial image structure analysis • Emission-based intensity comparison All processing is performed using pixel-level grayscale computation to improve measurement consistency and reduce colour-based variability. 📡 Radar Meteorology Module The meteorology section is designed for analysing atmospheric conditions using satellite or radar imagery. It supports: • Cloud density estimation • Cyclone classification (convective, stratiform, thin-layer structures) • Precipitation potential indicators • Atmospheric attenuation and extinction modelling • Radar reflectivity analysis These tools assist in interpreting storm systems and cloud formations using luminance-based physical modelling. 🌌 Astrograph Analysis Module The astrograph module enables structural analysis of astronomical images, including: • Surface brightness distribution • Optical depth estimation • Emission ratio comparison • Morphological structure detection • Stellar and nebula region analysis • Region-of-interest (ROI) signal interpretation This allows users to examine celestial structures using consistent grayscale intensity mapping. ⚙️ Image Processing System SkyRadar uses standard luminance conversion (BT.709 model): Grayscale = 0.299R + 0.587G + 0.114B Additional processing includes: • Brightness normalisation • Optical attenuation correction • Pixel variance analysis • Texture-based structure detection All calculations are performed locally on the device. 📱 Device Support SkyRadar is designed for: • Android smartphones • Android tablets The interface adapts to different screen sizes for field and laboratory use. 🔬 Scientific Purpose SkyRadar is intended for: • Educational use • Research exploration • Meteorological analysis • Astronomical imaging studies • Remote sensing interpretation It provides a unified grayscale analysis framework for atmospheric and astronomical image data. ⚠️ Disclaimer SkyRadar provides analytical visualisation and image processing tools.
