ANGLE-DOPPLER KEYSTONE FORMATTING FOR AIRBORNE LOOK-DOWN RADAR SYSTEM

An airborne radar system and signal interpretation approach that detects slow moving ground targets using angle and Doppler of Keystone formatting process, and is referred to as Angle-Doppler Keystone Formatting (ADK). ADK collapses the clutter ridge to a constant Doppler or to a constant angle, thereby transforming a clutter ridge in angle-Doppler space into a horizontal line of constant Doppler or a vertical line of constant angle. Clutter may then be filtered more effectively, such as by using multiple beams as the source of STAP training data or by using multiple Doppler bins.

VIBROMETRY AND SOUND REPRODUCTION OF ACOUSTIC SOURCES ON MOVING PLATFORMS USING RADAR

Systems and methods are provided for interrogating a moving acoustic source using radar and processing data using a selection of motion compensation techniques adapted from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to remove the effects of linear and nonlinear target motion so that the range-Doppler map retains only vibration information in the Doppler dimension. Vibration and sound waveforms can thus be selectively reproduced at specific ranges directly from the radar baseband waveform, without the need for additional complex analysis or audio processing.

VERIFYING AN OBJECT RECOGNITION DETERMINATION PRODUCED BY A PERCEPTION SYSTEM FROM DATA RECEIVED FROM A RANGING SENSOR SYSTEM

An object recognition determination produced by a perception system from data received from a ranging sensor system can be verified. A certificate can be produced that includes data for points of readings from the ranging sensor system.

Camera data and radar echoes are received from the surroundings. At least one radar echo is assigned to a delimiting frame of an object detected on the basis of a camera, the delimiting frame being generated using the camera data by comparing corresponding azimuth angles and specified distances of the radar echo and the object detected on the basis of a camera. In the event of a successful assignment, a distance which is assumed on the basis of a camera is corrected according to the distance of the respective detected object in the surroundings, said distance being determined in a radar-based manner. The respective delimiting frame together with the corrected distance is then output as an object data set which indicates a successful object detection.
