Patent number: 7652560Abstract: A radar device is configured to transmit an electric wave and receives a reflected wave that is generated by a reflection of the electric wave on an object, and to recognize the object is a potential obstacle that is to be hit by the vehicle when a received intensity of the reflected wave thereby is a specified threshold or more. And, the specified threshold has a plurality of preset values. Accordingly, a determination as to whether or not the obstacle detected by the radar device is the potential obstacle to be hit by the vehicle can be accurately made.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2007Date of Patent: January 26, 2010Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Ohmura, Haruki Okazaki, Takuji Oka, Takashi Nakagami, Sei Kobayashi, Masanobu Fukushima, Takashi Terano

Publication number: 20080079629Abstract: There are provided a radar device that transmits a frequency modulation-continuous wave (FM-CW) and outputs an up-beat frequency and a down-beat frequency, a pairing processing section that conducts pairing of the up-beat frequency and the down-beat frequency at specified sampling intervals, a target-object detecting section that detects target objects around the vehicle, obtaining a distance from the vehicle to the target object and a relative speed between the vehicle and the target object based on the up-beat frequency and down-beat frequency that are paired, and a prediction processing section that obtains a prediction data for each target object for a next sampling timing. The pairing processing section conducts the pairing with priority to a specified target object that has a high certainty of the prediction data. Thereby, the pairing of the up-beat and down-beat frequencies can be conducted precisely and quickly.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2007Publication date: April 3, 2008Inventors: Takuji Oka, Hiroshi Ohmura, Haruki Okazaki, Sei Kobayashi, Takashi Nakagami, Takayuki Seto
