  • Patent number: 11644564
    Abstract: A method for signal evaluation in a locating system that includes multiple radar sensors whose locating ranges overlap one another. The method includes evaluating the signal of a first of the radar sensors and identifying distance cells that are not empty, for at least one of these distance cells: selecting a second of the radar sensors and determining a distance range in which the objects situated in the distance cell would have to be situated from the viewpoint of the second radar sensor, and classifying the object configuration in the distance range, based on the signal of the second radar sensor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 9, 2020
    Date of Patent: May 9, 2023
    Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBH
