RADAR OBSTACLE DETECTION : FINDING MOVING TARGETS IN NOISY RANGE DATA

In this paper, the authors examine the applicability of several pilot short-range integrated radar units in the 24 GHZ range as potential components in a "situational awareness" sensor suite for automobiles in urban traffic. Focus is on whether these first generation radar units can be useful complements to an existing system that uses mature sensor technologies and is integrated by a well-developed sensor fusion architecture.Based on some experiments using three prototype units, the authors conclude that the potential exists for this technology to be applicable.
