  • Improving angular resolution of radars using an artificial neural network
    Publication number: 20230036450
    Abstract: According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method comprising, receiving, from a radar, a first reflected signal and a second reflected signal, determining a reference signal of the first reflected signal and training an artificial neural network using the first reflected signal and the reference signal of the first reflected signal, upon training, determining an output of the artificial neural network associated with the first reflected signal and providing a magnitude and angle image of the radar associated with the second reflected signal based on the output of the artificial neural network associated with the first reflected signal.

  • Controlling multiple imaging sensors
    Patent number: 10705217
    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a plurality of imaging sensor nodes producing 3D structure of a scene is provided. The apparatus receives (500) location data from the sensor nodes, the location data indicating the locations of the moving objects, compares (502) the location data received from different sensor nodes at the same time instants with each other and determines (504) which detections of different sensor nodes relate to same moving objects. The apparatus further maps (600) the location data received from different sensor nodes to a common coordinate system and determines (602) the relationships of the fields of view of the sensor nodes with each other and the location data mapped to the common coordinate system.
