Abstract: A vehicle, system and method for tracking an object with respect to the vehicle. A radar system receives a first plurality of detections from an object during a first time frame and a second plurality of detection during a second time frame. A region covariance matrix is calculated for a cluster formed from the first plurality of detections. An updated covariance matrix for the cluster is calculated from the region covariance matrix of the first time frame. A region covariance matrix is calculated for each of a plurality of clusters formed from the second plurality of detections. A metric is determined between the updated covariance matrix and each region covariance matrix from the second time frame. The object is tracked by associating the region covariance matrix from the second time frame having the smallest metric to the region covariance matrix of the first time frame.

Abstract: A system and method to perform target tracking with a radar system that uses a Kalman filter include predicting a predicted target position of a target detected by the radar system in a frame. The frame is a period of time to transmit from every transmit element of the radar system in turn and receive the reflections from a range of the target. The method also includes determining an actual target positon of the target detected by the radar system based on reflections received by the radar system for the frame, and computing a process noise covariance matrix Q for a next frame, immediately following the frame, based on the predicted target position and the actual target position. Predicting a position of the target in the next frame is based on the process noise covariance matrix Q.

Abstract: A method and radar system and vehicle that tracks an object is disclosed. A source signal is transmitted into a volume that includes the object. A reflected signal is received from the volume in response to the source signal. The reflected signal includes a reflection of the source signal from the object. A range is determined for the object from the reflected signal. A ground signal is estimated at the determined range and an amount of the ground signal in the reflected signal is estimated. The object is selected for tracking based on the estimate of the amount of the ground signal in the reflection from the object.

Abstract: A method of calibrating a radar system of a vehicle is disclosed. A source signal is transmitted from a transmitter at a target at a selected location from the radar system. An echo signal is received as a reflection of the source signal from the target at an in-phase channel and quadrature channel of a receiver. A range space for the echo signal is obtained that includes a target peak corresponding to the target, wherein the range space includes a ghost peak for the target resulting from an IQ difference between the in-phase and quadrature channels. The IQ difference between the in-phase and quadrature channels is adjusted to reduce an amplitude of the ghost frequency peak.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a method for processing a sequence of images is provided. The method receives a sequence of images generated by a radar. Each image includes a plurality of pixels. Each pixel includes radial velocity information. The method estimates optical flow for the pixels within an image in the sequence of images by using the radial velocity information for the pixels as a constraint.

Abstract: A method and system to estimate a velocity of a target use a radar to transmit a linear frequency modulated chirp from each of a plurality of transmit elements and receive resulting reflections. The system also includes a processor to process the reflections resulting from a frame of chirps at a time and compute the velocity based on determining a number of the frames of chirps for the target to move a specified distance. The processor processes the reflections by performing a range fast Fourier transform (FFT) such that the specified distance is a range spanned by a range bin and each frame of chirps is one transmission of the chirp by each of the plurality of transmit elements.

Abstract: A multi-input multi-output (MIMO) radar system and method of performing low-latency decoding in a MIMO radar system. The method includes transmitting a different linear frequency-modulated continuous wave (LFM-CW) transmit signal from each of N transmit elements of the MIMO radar system, each transmit signal associated with teach of the N transmit elements including a respective code, and receiving reflections associated with each of the transmit signals from each of the N transmit elements at each receive element of the MIMO radar system. Processing each symbol corresponding with each received reflection on a symbol-by-symbol basis is done to obtain a respective decoded signal prior to receiving all the received reflections associated with all the N transmit elements, wherein the processing includes using a Hadamard matrix with N columns in which each column is associated with the respective code transmitted by each of the N transmit elements.

The system includes a position sensor configured to determine an occupant position of an occupant engaging in speech within a defined space and transmit the speaking occupant position. A plurality of microphones are configured to receive sound from within the defined space and transmit audio signals corresponding to the received sound.

Abstract: A system and method perform object detection-based directional control of light transmission or sound transmission from a moving platform. The method includes receiving information about one or more objects that are proximate to the platform, and processing the information to obtain processed information, the processed information including a location of each of the one or more objects. Determining an importance and urgency among the one or more objects with regard to the light transmission or the sound transmission is based on the processed information. Controlling a light source or a sound source of the platform to respectively perform the light transmission or the sound transmission is based on the importance and the urgency.
