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.

20220391022 · 2022-12-08 · ·

A system and method providing a radar-based motion-sensing user interface suitable for issuing commands to a device or system as a consequence of the detection of user motion, whole-body gestures and/or hand gestures. The system and method derive a three-dimensional representation of a user within a defined space from two-dimensional data obtained from multiple reflected radar signals. The three-dimensional representation is then processed to recognize a human body, and in particular the movement and/or position of the body and/or body parts and joints. The recognized movement and/or position are then compared to a known list of gestures and movements that are associated with particular device/system commands. If one or more of the recognized movements and/or positions conforms with a command movement/gesture, the associated command is issued to the device or system being controlled.

Electronic Devices with Non-Static Object Detection

An electronic device may include a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) sensor disposed along a radio-frequency transmission line between a signal generator and an antenna. The VSWR sensor may gather VSWR measurements from radio-frequency signals transmitted by the signal generator over the transmission line. Control circuitry may identify a variation in the VSWR measurements over time and may compare the variation to a threshold value to determine whether an external object in the vicinity of the antenna is animate or inanimate. The control circuitry may reduce the maximum transmit power level of the antenna when the external object is animate and may maintain or increase the maximum transmit power level when the external object is inanimate. This may serve to maximize the wireless performance of the electronic device while also ensuring that the device complies with regulatory limits on radio-frequency energy exposure.
