A sensing system for a vehicle includes a first sensor at a forward portion of a side of the vehicle such that a principal axis of the first sensor's zone of sensing is rearward and sideward and at an angle relative to the body, and a second sensor at a rearward portion of the side of the vehicle such that a principal axis of the second sensor's zone of sensing is forward and sideward and at an angle relative to the body. Data sensed by the sensors when each sensor senses with at least two zones of sensing are communicated to a control, which determines the presence of one or more objects exterior the vehicle and within the zones of sensing of at least one of the sensors.

There is provided a radar device including: a transmitter including a first antenna which, in operation, transmits a radar signal; a receiver including a second antenna which, in operation, receives an echo signal that is the radar signal reflected from an object; a stationary object boundary detector which, in operation, detects a boundary of a first region in which a stationary object exists by using the echo signal; and a stationary object boundary variations detector which, in operation, detects a second region in which temporal changes are observed in the boundary of the first region and detects a third region that is the region moving in a cross-range direction, as a first moving object.

An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) includes flight components attached or disposed to a base; one or more cameras; radar; one or more wireless interfaces; a processing device communicatively coupled to the flight components, the one or more cameras, the radar, and the wireless interfaces; and memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processing device to monitor proximate airspace with one or more of the one or more cameras and the radar; detect an obstruction based on the monitor; identify characteristics of the obstruction; alter a flight plan, through the flight components, if required based on the characteristics; and communicate the obstruction to an air traffic control system via the one or more wireless interfaces.

An antenna device includes a plurality of antenna elements respectively configured to receive incident waves coming from an object, a modulating unit respectively configured to modulates a first received signal of the incident waves output from the antenna elements into a second received signal, the second received signals having a plurality of different frequencies and phases corresponding to polarization directions of the received incident waves, a synthesizing unit configured to synthesize the plurality of second received signals and generates a synthetic signal, a signal processing unit, configured to perform predetermined signal processing on the synthetic signal, and an extracting unit configured to extract third received signals for each frequency and each phase from the synthetic signal on which has been performed the predetermined signal processing.

A device is suggested for processing input data received by several antennas, the device including a processing unit including a buffer and at least one multiplier, wherein the processing unit is configured to calculate a second stage FFT result based on input data received by a first antenna, multiply the second stage FFT result for the first antenna with a first compensation value, and store the result in the buffer. The processing unit is further configured to calculate a second stage FFT result based on input data received by a second antenna, multiply the second stage FFT for the second antenna with a second compensation value, and add the result to the value stored in the buffer.

An autonomous vehicle (AV) can include a predictive sensor configuration system that can dynamically detect reflectance anomalies that affect detectability by sensor array of the AV as the AV travels a current route. The predictive sensor configuration system can dynamically determine one or more configurations for the sensor array to attempt to positively identify the reflectance anomalies, and preemptively execute the one or more configurations for the sensor array as the AV travels the current route.

A flexible radar support for absorbing vibration deviation comprises a support base and a support top cover that are engaged with each other in an interlocking manner. A housing space for arranging a radar is formed between the support base and the support top cover. The support base includes: a centrally arranged base center, and a base edge circumferentially arranged around the base center. The base edge and the base center are connected through four flexible structures that form U-shaped cantilever beams protruding towards the support top cover. With the flexible radar support provided, and with the design of U-shaped flexible structures, where an automobile body vibrates at a large amplitude, the flexible radar support can still absorb swaying in the up and down, and left and right directions during the course of driving, thereby reducing the impact of the automobile body's vibrations on the detection precision of a radar.

A pre-crash system has at least one dummy actuator and an adaptive pre-trigger function that is implemented with different parameter sets as a function of a current degree of validation, and evaluates the acquired physical quantities for pre-crash recognition in order to recognize an unavoidable crash, a first parameter set, which limits the pre-trigger function to a dummy operating mode in which the pre-trigger function produces at least one trigger signal for the dummy actuator if the evaluation of the physical quantities permits the inference of an unavoidable crash, being implemented until the current degree of validation satisfies a specified condition, the pre-trigger function comparing the triggering of the dummy actuator with the behavior of the evaluation and control unit, and, as a function of the comparison, rating the triggering of the dummy actuator as “correct” or as a “false positive.”

An image generating apparatus generates an image to be displayed on a display and includes at least one memory and a control circuit. The control circuit acquires a plurality of camera images captured by a plurality of cameras installed in a vehicle, calculates a distance between one of the cameras and a target to be projected in the camera images, detects a position of a light-transmissive object or a reflective object in the camera images, and generates an image from a point of view that is different from points of view of the plurality of camera images by using the plurality of camera images and the distance, the generated image including a predetermined image that is displayed at the position of the light-transmissive object or the reflective object.
