Abstract: The technology described herein is directed towards determining a phase shift matrix for an intelligent reflective surface based on active tag-enhanced sensing that provides calibrated orientation data and distance data of the intelligent reflective surface relative to a transmission-reception point, such as a radar system, base station or wireless access point. The calibration data is based on accurate estimation of element distances to the intelligent reflective surface elements. Based on the calibration data, a phase shift matrix for the elements of the intelligent reflective surface is determined. The phase shift matrix can be used in optimizing the intelligent reflective surface for redirected communications with a target. Other calibration data can be obtained at the target for element distances of the intelligent reflective surface relative to the target.

Abstract: A detection system includes an obtainer, a generator, a classifier, a centroid calculator, associator, and combiner. The obtainer obtains a reception signal from a radio wave sensor. The generator generates a scattered point including positional information of a target, based on the reception signal. The classifier classifies a scattered point group into one or more clusters.

The associator associates any of the one or more clusters classified by the classifier with the target. The combiner combines, as the scattered point, the centroid calculated by the centroid calculator during a preceding or earlier period with the scattered point group.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to focusing processing resources of a radar apparatus to radar data associated with specific locations around an autonomous vehicle (AV). Data associated with a type of sensing apparatus that is not a radar (e.g. a camera and/or a LiDAR apparatus) that tracks motion of specific objects around the AV may be used by a processor to identify specific sets of radar data to process. Locations associated with a specific set of tracked objects may be used to identify sets of received radar signals that will be processed by the radar apparatus. Radar signals received by the radar apparatus that are associated with locations that do not correspond to a location of a tracked object may be ignored by the radar apparatus to reduce a number of computational tasks that a processor of the radar apparatus must process.
