Signal Enhancement for Magnetic Navigation Challenge Problem
This is a repository for the signal enhancement for magnetic navigation (MagNav) challenge problem, which was introduced at JuliaCon 2020. The high-level goal is to use magnetometer (magnetic field) readings recorded from within a cockpit and remove the aircraft magnetic noise to yield a clean magnetic signal. A detailed description of the challenge problem can be found here and additional MagNav literature can be found here.

Introduction Videos
Starter Code
A basic set of starter Julia code files have been provided within the src folder. This code is largely based on work done by Major Canciani. This code has only been tested with Julia 1.4 and 1.5. A sample run file is located within the runs folder, which includes downloading the flight data via artifact (Artifacts.toml). Details of the flight data are described in the readme files within the readmes folder. The flight data can also be directly downloaded from here.
