Publication number: 20240337741Abstract: An automotive radar system (100) including first and second radar sensors (110, 120) transmitting a radar signal, and a processor (130). Each radar sensor (110, 120) determines ranges to one or more targets (140), where each determined range is associated with a complex value (Vmn) in a range vector. The processor (130) determines a difference in the ranges determined by the first and second radar sensors (110, 120). The processor (130) converts the difference in ranges to an intermediate frequency, IF, phase value (?IF) by relating the difference in ranges to the radar bandwidth (BW). The processor (130) adjusts the complex values (Vmn) in the range vectors by the IF phase value (?IF) and determines an angle (a) to at least one of the targets (140) based on the adjusted complex values in the range vectors from each radar sensor (110, 120).Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2022Publication date: October 10, 2024Applicant: Veoneer Sweden ABInventors: Dirk KLOTZBUECHER, Julian BECK, Walter POIGER, Christian SCHWERT, Christian FRANK

Patent number: 11756530Abstract: Example embodiments relate to techniques for training artificial neural networks or oilier machine-learning encoders to accurately predict the pitch of input audio samples in a semitone or otherwise logarithmically-scaled pitch space. An example method may include generating, from a sample of audio data, two training samples by applying two different pitch shifts to the sample of audio training data. This can be done by converting the sample of audio data into the frequency domain and then shifting the transformed data. These known shifts are then compared to the predicted pitches generated by applying the two training samples to the encoder. The encoder is then updated based on the comparison, such that the relative pitch output by the encoder is improved with respect to accuracy. One or more audio samples, labeled with absolute pitch values, can then be used to calibrate the relative pitch values generated by the trained encoder.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2020Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Marco Tagliasacchi, Mihajlo Velimirovic, Matthew Sharifi, Dominik Roblek, Christian Frank, Beat Gfeller
