Outline of Final Research Achievements

For driver’s assistance, automotive object detection system is one of important topics. The forward-looking systems by cameras are famous. In order to realize more reliable safety, the cameras had better be used with other sensing devices such as the radar network. We focus on forward-looking radar network systems in order to compensate weaknesses of imaging sensors. By using multiple radars, the radar network systems will achieve reliable detection and wide observation area.
In the radar network, processing of the data, which is derived from the multiple receivers, is important because the processing decides the estimation performance. Especially, in this research, we tried our proposed estimation algorithm with virtual receivers which are derived from reflected signals by surrounded objects. The performance was evaluated and improved by simulated targets which were both single point model and 3D target model.
