Method And Apparatus For Identifying Complex Objects Based On Range Readings From Multiple Sensors
View pageUS Patent:
6664918, Dec 16, 2003
Filed:
Jan 9, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/042902
Inventors:
Michael John Paradie - Nashua NH

Bruce David Labitt - Nashua NH
Assignee:
MIA-Com, Inc. - Middletown PA
International Classification:
G01S 1306
US Classification:
342 70, 342118, 342126, 342145, 342146
Abstract:
The invention is a method and apparatus for determining the shape and location of objects by trilateration based on the output of a plurality of range sensors. The range measurements from a plurality of sensors are correlated with each other to identify one or more potential objects. With respect to each potential object, it is assumed that the object can be one of a finite number of possible predefined shapes. For each potential object, a metric is calculated for each of the predefined shapes using the set of range measurements upon which the potential object is based defining the likelihood that the set of readings correspond to an actual object of that predefined shape. Each potential object is then assumed to have the predefined shape that yielded the lowest metric (i. e. , that yielded the metric that indicates the highest likelihood that the object has the corresponding shape). The list of potential objects is then ordered according by their calculated metrics from lowest to highest.

Abstract:
A process of determining an imminent-collision between a vehicle and an object, said vehicle having a sensing system for obtaining one or more images representing at least one observed object within a field of detection, said process comprising: (a) obtaining one or more images representing an observed object within said field of detection; and (b) determining that a collision between said vehicle and said observed object is imminent when the ratio of the probability that said observed object is actually within a collision zone to the probability that said observed object is actually within a safe zone is greater than a certain value.

G01S 7/42
US Classification:
342 70, 342195, 342159
Abstract:
Short-range vehicular radar systems are described. In one implementation, an apparatus used in radar applications includes a programmable digital receiver having an adaptable interference filter that is configured to reject radar pulses received from another radar system. In another implementation, a short-range vehicular radar system includes receive and transmission antennae, a programmable delay generator, and programmable receiver. The programmable delay generator is configured to control transmission of pulses from the transmission antenna at randomly selected times to prevent ambiguities associated with target objects that are distances away from the transmission antenna that are greater than the speed of light times the pulse repetition rate divided by two. The programmable receiver is calibrated to sample signals received by the receive antenna relative to when the pulses are emitted from the transmission antenna.
Method And Apparatus For Determining Location Of Objects Based On Range Readings From Multiple Sensors

Assignee:

International Classification:
G01S 1308
US Classification:
342145, 342 70, 342 71, 342 72, 342146
Abstract:
The invention is a method and apparatus for determining the locations of a plurality of actual objects based on the output of a plurality of range sensors. A multiplicity of range measurements are obtained from a plurality of sensors, each sensor capable of providing a multiplicity of range measurements. The range measurements from the plurality of sensors are correlated with each other to generate a list of potential objects and to order that list of potential objects from highest to lowest likelihood of being an actual object. The order may be based upon a cumulative error of the individual sensor measurements upon which the potential object is based. The ordered list of potential objects is then pared down to a smaller list of actual objects by assuming that the potential object highest in the ordered list as an actual object, and then removing from the list all other lower-ordered potential objects that are based on any of the range measurements upon which the selected object is based. The process is repeated for the next highest potential object remaining on the list until all potential objects on the list have either been selected as an actual object or removed from the list.

Abstract:
A method of mitigates RF interference from an RF interferer. An RF signal is received at an RF transceiver during a time period. The RF signal that includes, for at least a portion of the time period, an interference signal having a cyclic transmission pattern with at least one deterministic feature. The received RF signal is analyzed in order to determine timing information for the at least one deterministic feature and the associated interference signal cyclic transmission pattern. Transmission of the RF signals from the RF transceiver are synchronized with the interference signal transmission pattern based on the determined timing information to mitigate interference between the RF signals and the interference signal.

Assignee:
Autoliv ASP, Inc. - Ogden UT
International Classification:
G01S 7/32
G01S 13/93
G01S 13/93
Abstract:
A radar signal transmitter transmits first and second radar signals at different first and second frequencies. A radar receiver receives reflected radar signals and generates receive signals indicative of the reflected radar signals. A first receive signal is indicative of a first reflected radar signal generated by reflection of the first transmitted radar signal, and a second receive signal is indicative of a second reflected radar signal generated by reflection of the second transmitted radar signal. A processor receives the first and second receive signals and computes a difference between the first and second receive signals to generate a difference signal. The processor processes the difference signal to provide radar information for the region, the processor adjusting at least one of amplitude and phase of at least one of the first and second receive signals such that the difference is optimized at a preselected range from the receiver.
