摘要:
The present invention relates to a method, device and system for generating a transformation function, mapping position detections of objects in a scene, detected with a positioning device, to a graphical representation of the scene. The invention enables the detected positions by the positioning device to be mapped to the graphical representation of the monitored scene without the need of previous references to geographical coordinate systems for the positioning device and the graphical representation of the scene. Virtually any type of image may hence be used as a graphical representation of the scene, even hand-drawn sketches.

Ein Verfahren zur Positionsbestimmung eines mobilen Radarsystems umfasst die Schritte des Abtastens der Umgebung des mobilen Radarsystems von der tatsächlichen geographischen Position aus mit Radarstrahlen, des Erzeugens einer nach Azimut, Elevation und Entfernung aufgelösten Clutter-Map aus Echosignalen der zur Abtastung verwendeten Radarstrahlen, des Extrahierens eines lokalen Landschaftshorizontprofils aus der erzeugten Clutter-Map mit einer Sequenz aus 2-Tupeln mit Azimut- und Elevationswinkelwert, welcher die Grenzlinie zwischen Himmel und Erde markiert, des Vergleichens des lokalen Landschaftshorizontprofils mit einer Vielzahl von virtuellen Landschaftshorizontprofilen, welche durch Berechnung aus digitalen Geländemodellen der ungefähren Umgebung des mobilen Radarsystems ermittelt werden, und des Festlegens der tatsächlichen Position des mobilen Radarsystems als die demjenigen der Vielzahl von virtuellen Landschaftshorizontprofilen zugeordnete geographische Position, dessen Vergleich mit dem lokalen Landschaftshorizontprofil die höchste Korrelation aufweist.
摘要:
Embodiments of a guidance section that compensates for boresight error (BSE) caused by effects of a composite radome. The guidance section includes a BSE compensation element to add high-pass filtered noise to compensated BSE data. The guidance section also includes and a Kalman filter to generate line-of-sight rate (LOSR) BSE noise from the compensated BSE data and the added high-pass filtered noise. In some embodiments, a method for generating a revised BSE correction matrix is provided. The revised BSE correction matrix may compensate for BSE caused by effects in the composite radome and may correct for relative target velocity error.

A method is provided that involves identifying a target region of an environment of an autonomous vehicle to be monitored for presence of moving objects. The method also involves operating a first sensor to obtain a scan of a portion of the environment that includes at least a portion of the target region and an intermediate region between the autonomous vehicle and the target region. The method also involves determining whether a second sensor has a sufficiently clear view of the target region based on at least the scan obtained by the first sensor. The method also involves operating the second sensor to monitor the target region for presence of moving objects based on at least a determination that the second sensor has a sufficiently clear view of the target region. Also provided is an autonomous vehicle configured to perform the method.

A procedure for calibrating a vehicle onboard sensor 202 by facilitating the placement of a calibration fixture 110 on a floor relative to a stationary vehicle 100 using a laser emitter 102 secured to a front steerable wheel 104 of the vehicle on the same lateral side as the vehicle onboard sensor. A beam projection axis X of the laser projector is aligned at a known orientation relative to a geometric characteristic of the vehicle 100, such that the beam projection axis X is directed over a placement location P of the calibration fixture on the floor, either inherently or by guided steering of the supporting steerable wheel. A distance between the calibration fixture 110 and a reference point associated with the vehicle 100 is measured, and a current position of the calibration fixture on the floor along the beam projection axis X is adjusted as required to position the calibration fixture for calibration of the vehicle sensor 202 at a selected distance from the reference point along the beam projection axis X,
摘要:
A method (100) and system (10) are presented for managing operation of a conformal phased-array antenna. The method comprises: providing structural data about the antenna to be operated (102), said structural data comprising data indicative of a geometry of a curved radiating surface defined by an arrangement of N antenna elements of the phased array and data indicative of said arrangement of N antenna elements; utilizing input data indicative of a selected direction of antenna operation (106) and processing said structural data about the antenna, said processing comprising determining operational data for each of the antenna elements defining a desired radiation pattern of the antenna for said selected direction, said operational data comprising amplitude, phase and polarization of radiation for each antenna element.
