Abstract:
A system for tracking targets. A sequence of sensor observations is processed with two thresholds, including a first threshold, and a second threshold, higher than the first threshold. Signals that exceed the first threshold are identified as low-confidence target detections and stored for possible future use. When a signal exceeds the higher second threshold, it is identified as a high-confidence detection, and one or more candidate tracks are formed, including the high-confidence detection and one or more low-confidence detections from within a neighborhood of the high-confidence detection.
Abstract:
A heads up display arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a wheel sensor sensing a speed of rotation of a wheel. A distance-sensing device senses a distance between the motor vehicle and an other vehicle that is in front of the motor vehicle relative to a direction of travel of the motor vehicle. A processor receives the sensed speed of rotation of the wheel and calculates dependent thereon a stopping distance of the motor vehicle. A heads up display presents an image indicative of both the calculated stopping distance of the motor vehicle and the sensed distance between the motor vehicle and the other vehicle.

A method for spatially filtering data includes receiving a plurality of signal parameter vectors including spatial-type information derived from a sensor and associated with a signal emitter, determining error magnitudes of a plurality of first and second coordinates, and transmitting the plurality of coordinates to at least two arrays of differing sparsity in an array data structure when the error magnitudes differ by a predetermined amount, where each array is representative of a physical spatial domain from which a plurality of signals are received by the sensor. The method also includes determining a plurality of elliptical error region probability objects representative of probability density functions of the plurality of coordinates, where each object is stored in association with at least one of the at least two arrays, and determining an intersection region between the plurality of objects that is representative of a location of the signal emitter.
