ECHO IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE
An echo image display device includes a receiver, an information memory, an intermediate image production component, and a display component. The receiver is configured to receive a reception signal that is a reflection of a transmitted signal. The information memory is configured to store detection information about the reception signal received by the receiver and position information about the reception signal in association with each other. The intermediate image production component is configured to produce an intermediate image based on at least the detection information for the reception signal at an N-th scan, and the detection information for the reception signal at an N−1-th scan having the same position information as the position information for the reception signal at the N-th scan. The display component is configured to display the intermediate image produced by the intermediate image production component.
DISPLAY DEVICE AND DISPLAY METHOD THEREOF
Provided is a display device. The display device includes a display panel and a microlens array disposed on a light-emitting side of the display panel, wherein the display panel includes a plurality of pixel islands in which a first pixel island displaying a first color, a second pixel island displaying a second color, and a third pixel island displaying a third color adjacent to one another form a repeating unit. In a same repeating unit, three sub-pixels at the same positions relative to their respective microlens units in the first pixel island, the second pixel island, and the third pixel island are disposed at three vertexes of a triangle respectively, and thus form a color fusion pixel. In addition, the display device further includes microlens arrays in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of pixel islands to realize 3D display.
Systems and methods for concealed radar imaging
A concealed radar imaging system includes a visible light mirror, a radar device positioned behind the visible light mirror, and a processing circuit coupled to the radar device. The visible light mirror includes a reflective layer configured to reflect visible light, and allow a radar signal to pass therethrough. The radar device is configured to transmit the radar signal, receive a reflection of the radar signal, and generate reflection data based on the reflected radar signal. The processing circuit is configured to control operation of the radar device, receive the reflection data from the radar device, and generate imaging data based on the transmitted radar signal and the reflection data.
Localization using particle filtering and image registration of radar against elevation datasets
A system for localization includes a radar, a database, a simulator, a registrar, and a filter. The radar is positioned at a disposed location requiring localization. The radar generates a radar image scanning a proximity around the disposed location. The database stores features of a landmass. The simulator generates synthesized images of the features that the radar is predicted to generate from corresponding viewpoints. The registrar calculates respective correlation indicators between the radar image and each synthesized image. The filter sets a pose estimate of the disposed location to an average of those viewpoints from which correspond the synthesized images having the best or better ones of the correlation indicators.

Anti-Collision Device and System for Use with a Railcar
An anti-collision system for railcars and locomotives provides a distance ranging and worker coupling protection system utilizing remote-sensing radar techniques for use with a locomotive and railcar. The anti-collision system may include an object detector device attached to a railcar or a locomotive that detects objects in a path of the railcar and the locomotive and a train display device electrically connected to the object detector device. The anti-collision system may also include an emergency action device which enables a crew member to stop the railcar or locomotive without communication to a locomotive operator when a hazard is recognized. The object detector device may include a remote sensor, a radio, and a microprocessor programmed to include data-logging to record and log all data from the anti-collision system.
2D MIMO radar system for vehicle
A radar sensing system for a vehicle includes a radar sensor having a plurality of transmitting antennas and a plurality of receiving antennas. The transmitting antennas and the receiving antennas are arranged in multiple rows and columns of transmitting antennas and multiple rows and columns of receiving antennas.

RADAR DEVICE AND RADAR IMAGE DISPLAY METHOD
A radar device comprises a transmitter, a receiver, a first radar image production component, a second radar image production component, a display component, and an echo width adjuster. The transmitter transmits a pulse signal. The receiver receives an echo signal during a transmission and reception period of the pulse signal. The first radar image production component produces a radar image of a first display range on the basis of the echo signal. The second radar image production component produces a radar image of a second display range that is wider than the first display range on the basis of the echo signal. The display component selectively or simultaneously displays the radar image of the first display range and the radar image of the second display range. The echo width adjuster adjusts pulse width of echo included in the radar images or the echo signal according to the display range of the radar image.
Detection and tracking of land, maritime, and airborne objects using a radar on a parasail
A method and apparatuses may be provided for detection, tracking, and classification of one or more land, maritime, or airborne objects using a real-aperture radar mounted on a parasail airborne platform. Both wide-area and localized radar surveillance can be provided, and the radar can be either a non-coherent radar or coherent radar. A method and apparatus may use a low-cost, rotating, single-beam, non-coherent, X-band radar that is mounted on an unmanned powered parasail and operated remotely like an Unattended Airborne System (UAS). The parasail, which may be expendable or recoverable, manned or unmanned, powered or unpowered, may have a low operational cost, can carry a heavy payload, stay on station for a long time, circle or move to a specified location for surveillance, operate at an optimal altitude and look-angle, and automatically cue or manually steer an EO/IR camera to a target of interest for classification and identification.
