ASSOCIATING RADAR DATA WITH TRACKED OBJECTS

Sensors, including radar sensors, may be used to detect objects in an environment. In an example, a vehicle may include one or more radar sensors that sense objects around the vehicle, e.g., so the vehicle can navigate relative to the objects. A plurality of radar points from one or more radar scans...

Zusammenfassung:Sensors, including radar sensors, may be used to detect objects in an environment. In an example, a vehicle may include one or more radar sensors that sense objects around the vehicle, e.g., so the vehicle can navigate relative to the objects. A plurality of radar points from one or more radar scans are associated with a sensed object and a representation of the sensed object is determined from the plurality of radar points. The representation may be compared to track information of previously-identified, tracked objects. Based on the comparison, the sensed object may be associated with one of the tracked objects, and, alternatively, the track information may be updated based on the representation. Conversely, the comparison may indicate that the sensed object is not associated with any of the tracked objects. In this instance, the representation may be used to generate a new track, e.g., for the newly-sensed object.
