    摘要: Imaging systems and associated methods are described. According to one aspect, an imaging system includes a printed circuit board, an interface configured to at least one of output and receive a plurality of electrical signals with respect to circuitry external of the printed circuit board, a plurality of antennas configured to at least one of transmit and receive electromagnetic energy with respect to a target imaging volume, a plurality of conductors configured to communicate the electrical signals between the interface and the antennas, switching circuitry configured to selectively couple the interface with different ones of the antennas and different ones of the conductors at a plurality of different moments in time, and a controller configured to control the switching circuitry to couple the different ones of the antennas with the interface to provide a plurality of different sampling points within an aperture of the imaging system.

    摘要: A method for identifying edges of curbs in an environment of a mobile platform. The method includes: providing at least one optical image of the environment of the mobile platform; determining linear structures in the at least one optical image; providing a topographic profile of a ground surface of the environment of the mobile platform; projecting the linear structures into the topographic profile of the ground surface; verifying the edges of curbs by examining, on both sides of the projected linear structures, the topographic profile for altitude jumps corresponding to a curb structure; connecting the verified altitude jumps in order to identify the edges of the curbs.

    摘要: Techniques and apparatuses are described that implement a multi-radar system within a device and optimize operation of the multi-radar system. The multi-radar system includes two or more radar circuits located at different positions on the device. The multi-radar system also includes an optimization controller, which controls operational states of the radar circuits. In particular, the optimization controller determines respective operational states of the radar circuits to optimize performance of the multi-radar system under certain constraints. For example, the optimization controller can alter the respective operational states for different radar circuits responsive to detecting various trigger events. In this way, the optimization controller can selectively alter the operational states of the radar circuits for various situations.
