摘要: This document describes a radar system to universally detect direct-of-arrival (DoA) and direction-of-departure (DoD) angles in direct-path and multipath reflection conditions. For example, a radar system includes a transmitter and receiver array with a first array forming a minimum redundancy array and a second array forming a sparse uniform linear array. A processor determines, using second-array measurements, estimated angles. The quantity of estimated angles is larger than the quantity of actual angles due to angular ambiguity of the second array. The processor then identifies multiple potential sets of actual angles from among the estimated angles and tests each set under a maximum likelihood criterion using first-array measurements. The DoA and DoD angles are identified as the respective set with a maximum utility function value. In this way, the processor determines actual angles with improved resolution and reduced cost without having to identify whether a direct-path or multipath reflection condition exists.

摘要: The techniques and systems herein enable robot management in populated areas. Specifically, a vehicle system receives sensor data indicating aspects of an environment proximate a vehicle that comprises the vehicle system. Based on the sensor data, it is determined whether robots are in the environment proximate the vehicle. Responsive to determining that a robot is in the environment proximate the vehicle, attributes of the robot are determined based on the sensor data. A robot message is then generated that includes indications of the attributes of the robot, and the robot message is transmitted for receipt by a robot management system. By using the described techniques, the robot management system can leverage the vast number of vehicles with advanced sensor suites to monitor robots. Doing so may enable verification of routes and identification of robots that are not registered.

摘要: This document describes techniques and systems for identifying and selecting a parking spot using radar-centric occupancy grid (RCOG) maps. An example system includes a processor that can identify available parking spots near a host vehicle using sensor data, including a radar occupancy grid (ROG) map. Parking-spot characteristics of each available parking spot are also determined using the sensor data. The processor can then determine a selected parking spot based on the parking-spot characteristics. The processor or another processor can then control operation of the host vehicle to park in the selected parking spot using an assisted-driving or autonomous-driving system and based on the parking-spot characteristics. In this way, the described system can identify, select, and navigate to a parking spot using a RCOG map without having to rely on infrastructure sensors or pass by open spots.

摘要: A coaxial electrical cable assembly includes a coaxial electrical terminal having an inner ferrule disposed between an insulator surrounding a central conductor of a coaxial cable and a shield conductor of the coaxial cable and an outer ferrule crimped to the shield conductor and in compressive contact therewith. The outer ferrule defines a pair of crimp wings extending from a first side of a base portion of the outer ferrule and a single crimp wing extending from a second side of the base portion opposite the first side. The single crimp wing is disposed within a gap between the pair of crimp wings.

摘要: This document describes techniques and systems for planar surface features for waveguides and antennas. Two structures are arranged with opposing planar surfaces fixed adjacent to a separation plane dividing a channel (e.g., a waveguide, a feed network) to provide an energy path for propagating electromagnetic energy. Part of the channel is formed between side walls of a recessed groove within one opposing surface; another channel part is formed by an arrangement of surface features spaced and shaped on the other opposing surface. At least two surface features are adjacent protrusions contoured to compliment the sidewalls of the recessed groove. An area on each opposing surface between the recessed groove and the adjacent protrusions is configured to form the energy path through the channel including to prevent energy leakage from the separation plane dividing the channel.

摘要: The techniques and systems herein enable pose correction based on landmarks and barriers. A vehicle pose, one or more radar-occupancy grid (ROG) landmark locations relative to the vehicle, and one or more map landmark locations are received. Based on determined association probabilities of candidate pairs (e.g., treating the map landmark locations as observations), one of the ROG landmark locations and one of the map landmark locations are selected as corresponding to each other. An ROG barrier location and a map barrier location are identified, and ripple point locations are identified that are along the barriers at a radial distance from the landmarks. Based on the ripple point locations and a cost function, a pose correction for the pose is determined. By using the described techniques, reliable vehicle localization can be performed using radar data and a map in a wide array of environments without necessitating other sensors.

摘要: This document describes techniques and systems for stationary object detection and classification based on low-level radar data. Raw electromagnetic signals reflected off stationary objects and received by a radar system may be preprocessed to produce low-level spectrum data in the form of range-Doppler maps that retain all or nearly all the data present in the raw electromagnetic signals. The preprocessing may also filter non-stationary range-Doppler bins. The remaining low-level spectrum data represents stationary objects present in a field-of-view (FOV) of the radar system. The low-level spectrum data representing stationary objects can be fed to an end-to-end deep convolutional detection and classification network that is trained to classify and provide object bounding boxes for the stationary objects. The outputted classifications and bounding boxes related to the stationary objects may be provided to other driving systems to improve their functionality resulting in a safer driving experience.

摘要: Described is phased metalens depth of focus increase for camera focusing. An objective camera lens is configured to provide a focus window across multiple radial zones within a field of view. A camera imager is configured to capture an image of the field of view. When at least two of the radial zones have different back focal lengths relative the imager and the objective lens, a phased metalens is positioned between the objective lens and the camera imager. The metalens is configured to compensate for defocus caused by the different back focal lengths by increasing, across the radial zones within the field of view, a depth of the focus window. The metalens improves focus across the field of view, which prevents variations in objective lens characteristics from reducing image quality.
