Abstract
Radar installation and calibration systems and methods are provided. In one example, a controller of a radar system receives installation parameters associated with an installation of a radar system. A present orientation of a radar device of the radar system is determined and compared to the installation parameters to determine a deviation of the present orientation from the installation parameters. The deviation is sent to a coordinating device associated with the radar device to cause the deviation to be outputted as installation feedback through the coordinating device. Related systems and methods are also provided.
Claims20
A radar system comprising:
- a radar device;
- a communication device;
- and
- a controller electrically coupled to the radar device and the communication device and configured to:
- receive, via the communication device, installation parameters associated with an installation of the radar system;
- determine a present orientation of the radar device;
- compare the present orientation of the radar device to the installation parameters to determine a deviation of the present orientation from the installation parameters;
- and
- send the deviation via wireless communication through the communication device to a coordinating device associated with the radar device to cause the deviation to be provided, via the coordinating device, as feedback for facilitating installation of the radar device.
A radar system comprising:
- a transceiver configured to transmit and receive radio waves;
- a device configured to provide calibration data;
- and
- a controller communicatively coupled to the transceiver and the device, wherein the controller is configured to:
- receive user input from a user device at each of a plurality of locations to provide a user-generated calibration movement pattern;
- determine, based on radio waves received by the transceiver from a detection area, a first tracked movement parameter of a target at the plurality of locations as the target moves along the user-generated calibration movement pattern within the detection area;
- determine, based on the calibration data obtained from the device, a second tracked movement parameter of the target at the plurality of locations as the target moves along the user-generated calibration movement pattern within the detection area;
- correlate the first tracked movement parameter to the second tracked movement parameter;
- and
- calibrate the radar system based on the correlation of the first tracked movement parameter to the second tracked movement parameter.
