Systems and methods for sensing and monitoring various athletic performance metrics, e.g., during the course of a game, a practice, a training session, training drills, and the like, are described. These systems and methods can provide useful metrics for players and coaches relating to athletic performances in various sports, including various team sports.

Techniques are disclosed for radar data denoising systems and methods. In one example, a method includes receiving radar data. The method further includes performing a first transform associated with the radar data to obtain transformed radar data. The transformed radar data is associated with a location parameter and a variance that is independent of the location parameter. The method further includes performing a second transform of the transformed radar data to obtain dimensionality-reduced radar data. The method further includes filtering the dimensionality-reduced radar data to obtain denoised dimensionality-reduced radar data. Related devices and systems are also provided.

An object detection apparatus 1000 includes: a transmission unit 1101, having a transmission antenna, configured to emit a radio wave toward an object using the transmission antenna; a reception unit 1102, having a reception antenna, configured to receive the radio wave reflected by the object as a reception signal and generate an intermediate frequency signal from the reception signal received; and a processing device 1211. The processing device 1211 calculates an amplitude distribution of the radio wave reflected by the object on the basis of the placement of the transmission antenna, the placement of the reception antenna, the frequency of the radio wave emitted from the transmission antenna, and the intermediate frequency signal, and furthermore, using a correction operator calculated from a point spread function indicating characteristics of the transmission unit 1101 and the reception unit 1102, corrects the amplitude distribution calculated.

Provided is an object recognition device including a temporary setting unit and an update processing unit. The temporary setting unit sets, based on specifications of an external information sensor that has detected an object, a position of at least one candidate point on the object. The update processing unit corrects a position of a detection point with respect to the external information sensor at a time when the external information sensor has detected the object based on the position of the candidate point on the object, and updates track data indicating a track of the object based on a position of the detection point with respect to the external information sensor after the correction.

Provided is a signal processing device capable of distinguishing and measuring a plurality of measurement targets even with simple configuration. The signal processing device including a reception processing unit that receives a response to a predetermined signal transmitted from a transmission antenna, and a determination unit that determines the plurality of measurement targets by a response to a plurality of signals corresponding to a second direction having a predetermined range different from a first direction having a predetermined range.
