    摘要: A radar apparatus is mountable to a vehicle. The radar apparatus includes an observing unit, an estimating unit, a predicting unit, a matching processing unit, and a determining unit. The estimating unit calculates, regarding an initial detection target object, a plurality of velocity estimation values in which folding is presumed, using a velocity observation value calculated by the observing unit.

    摘要: An object tracking apparatus generates a plurality of target candidates in which ambiguity in velocity is assumed for an object detected for a first time, calculates a current prediction value of a state quantity of each target candidate from a past estimation value of the state quantity of each target candidate, using one filter among a plurality of filters, and calculates the current estimation value of the state quantity of the target candidate from each of the calculated prediction values and a current observation value that matches each prediction value. The object tracking apparatus deletes the target candidate of which a determined likelihood is less than a preset threshold among the target candidates, and switches a used filter to a filter that has a larger number of state variables among the filters, in response to the target candidate being deleted and the total number of target candidates decreasing.

    摘要: An object-detecting device includes a first detector, an object tracker, a second detector, and an axial misalignment determiner. The first detector detects a distance between a moving body and an object and an orientation of the object relative to the moving body based on detection information acquired from detection sensors including a search wave sensor that searches a detection region with a search wave. The object tracker tracks the same object passing through a different detection region based on the detection information. The second detector detects at least either one of a height of the object or a lateral distance of the object as object information based on the detection information. The axial misalignment determiner determines whether axial misalignment has occurred in the search wave sensor based on the distance and the orientation of the object detected by the first detector based on the detection information from the search wave sensor and the object information detected in a different detection region by the second detector.

    摘要: A vehicle information providing apparatus (hereinafter, apparatus) repeatedly acquires observation point information. The apparatus calculates at least one position of the predicted point. When the observation point information is acquired, the apparatus extracts a predicted point that can be connected to the observation point from the calculated predicted points. The apparatus calculates the position of the current filtered point based on the position of the current observation point and the position of the latest predicted point. When the observation point information of a new object (an object having no latest predicted point connectable to the observation point) is acquired, the device sets initial vectors. The apparatus calculates the position of the predicted point at time instants succeeding the current time instant for each of the traveling directions indicated by the initial vectors.

    摘要: A vehicle radar system includes at least one radar, a detection section, an extraction section, a pair determination section, and a target position determination section. The extraction section extracts at least one observation point pair from a plurality of detected observation points. The observation point pair is a pair of the observation points located in the same direction. The target position determination section calculates a surface direction of a reflection surface from a reflection surface observation point of the observation point pair and observation points around the reflection surface observation point, and determines a position of the target from the calculated surface direction and the at least one observation point pair.

    摘要: A dual-frequency CW processing unit (12) calculates an observation-point orientation of an observation point. An FMCW processing unit (11) calculates at least a power spectrum of a beat signal, which has been generated based on radar waves that have come from the calculated observation-point orientation, in terms of an up-modulation time interval and a down-modulation time interval (termed orientation power spectrum hereinafter). The FMCW processing unit (11) shifts the orientation power spectra of the up- and down-modulation time intervals to positive and negative directions, respectively, by an amount corresponding to a Doppler shift frequency. The FMCW processing unit (11) calculates a differential power spectrum by differentiating the orientation power spectra of the shifted up- and down-modulation time intervals, and detects a peak frequency where intensity is maximum.
