  • Patent number: 12162512
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and tracking objects using radar data are disclosed. The methods include receiving measurement data corresponding to an environment of a vehicle from a radar sensor associated with the vehicle, and identifying one or more object tracks of a plurality of object tracks that lie within an extended field of view (FOV) of the radar sensor. The extended FOV may be determined based on an original FOV of the radar sensor. The methods further include performing association of the measurement data with the one or more object tracks to identify an associated object track, and outputting the associated object track and the measurement data to a navigation system of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11807271
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and products for resolving level ambiguity for radar systems of autonomous vehicles may include detecting a plurality of objects with a radar system. Each first detected object may be associated with an existing tracked object based on a first position thereof. First tracked object data based on a first height determined for each first detected object may be stored. The first height may be based on the position of the detected object, the existing tracked object, and a tile map. Second tracked object data based on a second height determined for each second detected object not associated with the existing tracked object(s) may be stored. The second height may be based on a position of each second detected object, a vector map, and the tile map. A command to cause the autonomous vehicle to perform at least one autonomous driving operation may be issued.
