ADS-B Receiver Visualization

This project enables the analysis and visualization of ADS-B flight data received by a local ADS-B receiver (e.g., Dump1090 on a Raspberry Pi). The goal is to clearly display flight movements, range, and flight altitudes on maps.

Project Overview

1. Data Recording

• Live data from Dump1090 is captured via TCP (raspberrypi.local:30003).
• The following data is stored: icao, callsign, lat, lon, altitude_ft, distance_km, timestamp.
  • Output: adsb_live_log.csv

2. First and last position per aircraft

• The first and last received point for each aircraft is extracted from the live log file.
• Output: adsb_first_last.csv

3. Visualization
   • First and last points as small markers on the map
     • Green = first point
     • Red = last point

• Lines between first and last position
  * Line color indicates flight altitude (red = low, purple = high)
• Map output:
  • adsb_first_last_lines.html → simple line map
  • adsb_first_last_lines_colored.html → lines color-coded by altitude
  • adsb_live_points.html → all received points as markers

Note: This project and the instructions were created and improved with the support of AI.
