Artificial Intelligence Powered Radar Advances Autonomous Driving
Metawave claims it is the first to add a Micro Doppler Signature Extraction AI algorithm to its automotive 77 GHz radar platform. The Company’s WARLORD smart radar platform is now capable of distinguishing non-metallic objects like pedestrians, cyclists, and road animals like deer, squirrels, or coyotes, by analyzing their micro-motions. While Micro-Doppler Signatures are great for recognizing non-metallic objects, which are intrinsically harder for radars, they can still be used for providing additional information about metallic objects like cars, motorcycles or trucks – Doppler signatures associated with the rotations of the wheels can be exploited for enhanced discrimination, even between different classes of vehicles.
