Abstract
Systems and methods for operating radar systems. The methods comprise, by a processor: receiving point cloud information generated by at least one radar device; generating a radar track initializer using the point cloud information; determining whether the radar track initializer includes false information; generating a radar track for a detected object when a determination is made that the radar track initializer does not include false information; and/or using the radar track to control operations of a vehicle.
Claims20
A method for operating a radar system, comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, point cloud information;
- generating, by a processor, a radar track initializer using the point cloud information;
- determining, by a processor, whether the radar track initializer includes false information based on a distance between the radar track initializer and at least one camera segment;
- generating, by a processor, a radar track for a detected object when a determination is made that the radar track initializer does not include false information;
- and
- using, by a processor, the radar track to control operations of a vehicle.
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising programming instructions that are configured to cause the processor to implement a method for operating a radar system, wherein the programming instructions comprise instructions to:
- receive point cloud information;
- generate a radar track initializer using the point cloud information;
- determine whether the radar track initializer includes false information based on a distance between the radar track initializer and at least one camera segment;
- generate a radar track for a detected object when a determination is made that the radar track initializer does not include false information;
- and
- use the radar track to control operations of a vehicle.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions that, when executed by at least one computing device, will cause the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:
- receiving point cloud information;
- generating a radar track initializer using the point cloud information;
- determining whether the radar track initializer includes false information based on a distance between the radar track initializer and at least one camera segment;
- generating a radar track for a detected object when a determination is made that the radar track initializer does not include false information;
- and
- using the radar track to control operations of a vehicle.
