Abstract: This document describes a multiple hypothesis-based data fusion tracker. Each hypothesis aligns to a different pseudo measurement type. The fusion tracker automatically determines, using a predefined error covariance associated with the radar, which pseudo measurement type has a greater chance of being accurate for a current situation. The fusion tracker may rely on either one of two combined radar and vision calculations, or the fusion tracker may ignore the vision-based pseudo measurements and instead, rely on radar pseudo measurements alone. By selecting between three different bounding boxes, a vision angle based box, a vision lateral position based box, or a radar only based box, the fusion tracker can balance accuracy and speed when drawing, repositioning, or resizing bounding boxes, even under congested traffic or other high volume situations.

Via the Bayesian neural network, confidence values are determined for each class and for each grid cell based on the high-level features and based on the various sets of weights in order to determine a predicted class and an extent of uncertainty for the predicted class for each grid cell.

Abstract: A first sensor signal and a second sensor signal are provided by a sensor unit to an evaluation unit. The first sensor signal is dependent on the angular position and is associated with a first detection position, and the second sensor signal is associated with a second detection position lying about the rotational axis perpendicular to the first detection position.

Each of the first and second sensor signals are adjusted by the evaluation unit based on the amplitude difference. An angular position of a rotational component is determined by the evaluation unit based on output from an a tan 2-function that takes the adjusted first and second sensor signals as input.
