    摘要: Examples relating to vehicle velocity calculation using radar technology are described. An example method performed by a computing system may involve, while a vehicle is moving on a road, receiving, from two or more radar sensors mounted at different locations on the vehicle, radar data representative of an environment of the vehicle. The method may involve, based on the data, detecting at least one scatterer in the environment. The method may involve making a determination of a likelihood that the at least one scatterer is stationary with respect to the vehicle. The method may involve, based on the determination being that the likelihood is at least equal to a predefined confidence threshold, calculating a velocity of the vehicle based on the data from the sensors. The calculated velocity may include an angular and linear velocity. Further, the method may involve controlling the vehicle based on the calculated velocity.

    摘要: The present disclosed technology is a generally two-dimensional display and audible alarm to show notification and urgency information from multiple object detection radar sensors on a vehicle. When a particular sensor is reporting to the vehicle's operation and control center, the corresponding light(s) according to a top view of the vehicle in the array may light up, pulse or flash accordingly. In addition, an audible alarm may operate in concert and emphasis with the light(s) display.

    摘要: A weather radar module includes a memory, a vertical weather display, and a processor. The vertical weather display is configured to display weather in a vertical format. The processor is configured to control a radar antenna of the aircraft to perform a sweep in the horizontal direction and receive horizontal sweep radar returns, determine first weather parameters of a weather model in the vertical format based on the horizontal sweep radar returns, and store the first weather parameters in the memory. The processor is further configured to provide an estimate of the weather in the vertical format based on fusing vertical weather data, which is based on the vertical sweep radar returns, with the first weather parameters in the memory or with vertical display data based on the first weather parameters, and cause the vertical weather display to display the estimate of the weather in the vertical format.
