  • Patent number: 11921212
    Abstract: A LIDAR-based method of determining an absolute speed of an object at a relatively longer distance from an ego vehicle, including: estimating a self speed of the ego vehicle using a first frame t?1 and a second frame t obtained from a LIDAR sensor by estimating an intervening rotation ? about a z axis and translation in orthogonal x and y directions using a deep learning algorithm over a relatively closer distance range; dividing each of the first frame t?1 and the second frame t into multiple adjacent input ranges and estimating a relative speed of the object at the relatively longer distance by subsequently processing each frame using a network, with each input range processed using a corresponding convolutional neural network; and combining the estimation of the estimating the self speed with the estimation of the estimating the relative speed to obtain an estimation of the absolute speed.

  • Patent number: 11635527
    Abstract: It is provided a joint receiver and receiving method for navigation signals located at adjacent frequencies. The joint receiving method includes: receiving a first navigation signal and a second navigation signal which are located at adjacent frequencies (S1); and calculating a frequency estimation of a virtual wideband navigation signal constructed based on the first navigation signal and the second navigation signal (S2), wherein the virtual wideband navigation signal is an asymmetric BOC-like navigation signal having a virtual carrier and a virtual sub-carrier. With the joint receiver and joint receiving method, not only power gain but also bandwidth gain can be obtained, and the ranging precision can be significantly improved.
