Abstract
A radar device for a vehicle includes: a radar sensor disposed on either one or both of a front surface of a vehicle and a rear surface of the vehicle, and configured to emit an electromagnetic wave signal toward a road having a lane at least partially containing an electromagnetic wave absorbing paint; and a radar control unit configured to determine whether a target is an object, the road, or the lane, based on an intensity of an electromagnetic wave reflected by the object, the road, or the lane, by using a radar signal received from the radar sensor.
Claims13
A radar device for a vehicle, comprising:
- a radar sensor disposed on either one or both of a front surface of a vehicle and a rear surface of the vehicle, and configured to emit an electromagnetic wave signal toward a road having a lane at least partially containing an electromagnetic wave absorbing paint;
- and
- a radar control unit configured to determine whether a target is an object, the road, or the lane, based on an intensity of an electromagnetic wave reflected by the object, the road, or the lane, by using a radar signal received from the radar sensor.
A method of controlling radar for a vehicle, comprising:
- detecting an intensity of an electromagnetic wave reflected by a target, using a radar sensor;
- and
- determining the target as an object, a road, or a lane, based on the intensity of the electromagnetic wave,
- wherein, the determining of the target as the object, the road, or the lane comprises:
- determining the target as the object or the road, in response to the intensity of the electromagnetic wave exceeding a first reference value;
- and
- determining the target as the lane, in response to the intensity of the electromagnetic wave being equal to or less than the first reference value.
