Method and apparatus for processing measurement tuples

A method for processing measurement tuples, comprising the steps of:

• measuring an angle of arrival of a measured high frequency signal (S) and a distance between the measurement apparatus and an object;
• combining the angle of arrival and the distance to estimate at least two-space coordinates of the object;
• providing, by a detection unit of a measurement apparatus, measurement tuples (T), each of the measurement tuples (T) comprising a high frequency signal amplitude (A) of the measured high frequency signal (S) and the at least two-space coordinates of the object reflecting or transmitting the measured high frequency signal (S);
• encoding, by a coding unit of the measurement apparatus, the high frequency signal amplitude (A) of each of the measurement tuples (T) as a corresponding image point density;
• and
• displaying, on a display of the measurement apparatus, the measurement tuples (T) with the encoded high frequency signal amplitude (A) on a high resolution screen comprising a plurality of image pixels, wherein distances between active illuminating image pixels of said high resolution screen are controlled in response to the encoded image point densities, and
• wherein the high frequency signal amplitude (A) of the measured high frequency signal (S) is encoded as a number of active illuminating image pixels per display area of the display.

An object detection device comprising a processing unit implemented in circuitry, the object detection device comprising:

• a detection unit configured to measure a received high frequency signal (S) reflected or transmitted by an object, and to provide measurement tuples (T) of the object,
• wherein each of the measurement tuples (T) includes a high frequency signal amplitude (A) of the measured high frequency signal (S) reflected or transmitted by said physical object and includes at least two-space coordinates of the physical object reflecting or transmitting the high frequency signal (S), and
• wherein the at least two-space coordinates of the object are determined by combining an angle of arrival of the measured high frequency signal (S) and a distance between the measurement apparatus and the object;
• a coding unit configured to encode the high frequency signal amplitude (a) of each of the measurement tuples (T) provided by said detection unit, wherein the coding unit is configured to encode the high frequency signal amplitude (a) of each of the provided measurement tuples (T) as a corresponding image point density;
• and
• an output unit comprising a display configured to display the measurement tuples (T) with the encoded high frequency signal amplitude (A) on a high resolution screen comprising a plurality of image pixels, wherein distances between active illuminating image pixels are controlled by a display control unit of said output unit in response to the encoded image point densities provided by said coding unit, and
• wherein said coding unit is configured to encode the high frequency signal amplitude (A) of the measured high frequency signal (S) as a number of active illuminating image pixels per display area of said high resolution screen of said display.
