    Abstract: An orthogonal linear frequency modulation (OLFM) communications system has an OFDM transmitter and receiver communcating data on a series of multiplexed sub-carriers over a communications medium. A linear frequency modulator provided at the transmitter subjects the sub-carriers to linear frequency modulation to produce a series of sub-sweeps for transmission over the communications medium. A linear frequency demodulator at the receiver produces the sub-carriers from the received sub-sweeps for subsequent demodulation to recover the data.

    Abstract: There is provided a method and system for training an object recognition machine learning model to perform object recognition in data acquired by ultrawide field of view (UW FOV) sensors to thereby obtain a distortion-aware object recognition model. The object recognition model comprises convolution layers each associated with a set of kernels. During training on a UW FOV labelled training dataset, deformable kernels are learned in a manifold space, mapped back to Euclidian space and used to perform convolutions to obtain output feature maps which are used to perform object recognition predictions. Model parameters of the distortion-aware object recognition model may be transferred to other architectures of object recognition models, which may be further compressed for deployment on embedded systems such as electronic devices on board autonomous vehicles.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium includes instructions to identify, based upon Doppler-speed determination from one or more radars, radar targets within a hitbox for determining a first stationary status of a vehicle based on tracking Doppler-speed radar targets in a hitbox region. The medium also includes instructions to identify, based upon the Doppler speed determination from the one or more radars, field-of-view (FOV) radar targets for determining a second stationary status based on a substantial number and a distribution of Doppler-speed determinations for the FOV radar targets. The medium also includes instructions to confirm, based on detecting a change in either of the first or the second stationary status of the vehicle, an acceleration sensed by an inertial measurement unit onboard the vehicle.
