Automotive radar target tracking by Kalman filtering
Automotive radars have been introduced successfully into the consumer market with sensors in the 24- and 77-GHz domain [1]. In order to increase traffic safety, an application for detecting and tracking Vulnerable Road Users (VRU) and vehicles in front of the car is currently under development. By using a single 24-GHz radar sensor, target parameters like range, radial velocity and azimuth angle are measured even in multiple target scenarios. This paper describes the current implementation progress of a signal processing scheme for target tracking by Kalman filtering and presents tracking results using real measurement data. The work is developed under the FP7 EC funded project ARTRAC [2].
Kalman Filter for Beginners: with MATLAB Examples
Dwarfs your fear towards complicated mathematical derivations and proofs. Experience Kalman filter with hands-on examples to grasp the essence. A book long awaited by anyone who could not dare to put their first step into Kalman filter. The author presents Kalman filter and other useful filters without complicated mathematical derivation and proof but with hands-on examples in MATLAB that will guide you step-by-step. The book starts with recursive filter and basics of Kalman filter, and gradually expands to application for nonlinear systems through extended and unscented Kalman filters. Also, some topics on frequency analysis including complementary filter are covered. Each chapter is balanced with theoretical background for absolute beginners and practical MATLAB examples to experience the principles explained. Once grabbing the book, you will notice it is not fearful but even enjoyable to learn Kalman filter.
