We are excited to launch the “MAFAT Radar Challenge” — a data science competition in which participants are asked to distinguish between humans and animals in radar tracks.
We encourage you to post any findings, thoughts, concerns or questions in this forum.
Also, don't forget to check out the FAQ section (Competition>Learn the details>FAQ) – we will do our best to update it with common topics discussed in the forum throughout the competition.
Good luck!
Idan (MAFAT Challenge team)
Hello,
I am a second-year undergraduate student working on a university-mandated academic project focused on radar signal processing and learning-based analysis techniques.
Our project requires real-world radar data, and the MAFAT Radar Challenge dataset is particularly well-suited due to its structure and relevance. We intend to use the dataset strictly for academic and research purposes and will fully comply with all licensing and usage conditions set by MAFAT.
I would like to ask whether students can request access to the dataset for academic projects, and if so, what the correct procedure is (registration, approval, or any required documentation). If access is restricted, guidance on alternative datasets or official channels would also be appreciated.
Thank you for maintaining and supporting such valuable resources for the research and student community.
