    Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems for electromagnetic response simulation for arbitrary road surface profiles. An electromagnetic response simulator receives a position and an orientation of both an electromagnetic sensor (e.g., radar sensor) and a target, and a geometric profile of a road surface. The road surface may vary in elevation in the lateral and/or longitudinal directions. The electromagnetic response simulator estimates reflection points of electromagnetic rays along the geometric profile of the road surface and translates the positions and the orientations of the electromagnetic sensor and the target into respective local coordinates corresponding to each reflection point. The electromagnetic responses can then be calculated, corresponding simulated rays can be output to a sensor simulator. In this manner, the variance in elevation of a road surface can be included in generating simulated rays, and the electromagnetic response simulator may more accurately simulate real-world electromagnetic responses.

    Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems to detect and localize NLOS objects using multipath radar reflections and map data. In some examples, a processor of radar system can identify a detection of an object using reflected EM energy and determine, using map data, whether a direct-path reflection associated with the detection is within a roadway. In response to determining that the direct-path reflection is not located within the roadway, the processor can determine whether a multipath reflection (e.g., a multipath range and multipath angle) associated with the detection is viable. In response to determining that the multipath reflection is viable, the processor can determine that the detection corresponds to an NLOS object. The processor can also provide the NLOS object as an input to an autonomous or semi-autonomous driving system of the vehicle, thereby improving the safety of such systems.
