Super-resolution radar for autonomous vehicles

Abstract

Examples disclosed herein relate to an autonomous driving system in an vehicle. The autonomous driving system includes a radar system configured to detect a target in a path and a surrounding environment of the vehicle and produce radar data with a first resolution that is gathered over a continuous field of view on the detected target. The system includes a super-resolution network configured to receive the radar data with the first resolution and produce radar data with a second resolution different from the first resolution using first neural networks. The system also includes a target identification module configured to receive the radar data with the second resolution and to identify the detected target from the radar data with the second resolution using second neural networks. Other examples disclosed herein include a method of operating the radar system in the autonomous driving system of the vehicle.
