A computer implemented method for detection of objects in a vicinity of a vehicle comprises the following steps carried out by computer hardware components: acquiring radar data from a radar sensor; determining a plurality of features based on the radar data; providing the plurality of features to a single detection head; and determining a plurality of properties of an object based on an output of the single detection head.

A computer implemented method for determining a location of an object comprises the following steps carried out by computer hardware components: determining a pre-stored map of a vicinity of the object; acquiring sensor data related to the vicinity of the object; determining an actual map based on the acquired sensor data; carrying out image registration based on the pre-stored map and the actual map; carrying out image registration based on the image retrieval; and determining a location of the object based on the image registration.

A computer implemented method for processing radar reflections includes receiving radar reflections by at least one radar sensor; determining a target angle under which radar reflections related to a potential target are received by the at least one radar sensor; and determining an energy of radar reflections received by the at least one radar sensor under a pre-determined angular region around the target angle.

This document describes techniques and systems for a partially-learned model for speed estimates in radar tracking. A radar system is described that determines radial-velocity maps of potential detections in an environment of a vehicle. The model uses a data cube to determine predicted boxes for the potential detections. Using the predicted boxes, the radar system determines Doppler measurements associated with the potential detections that correspond to the predicted boxes. The Doppler measurements are used to determine speed estimates for the predicted boxes based on the corresponding potential detections. These speed estimates may be more accurate than a speed estimate derived from the data cube and the model. Driving decisions supported by the speed estimates may result in safer and more comfortable vehicle behavior.

A computer implemented method for determining a direction of arrival of a radar detection comprises the following steps carried out by computer hardware components: acquiring a complex-valued beamvector of the radar detection; processing the complex-valued beamvector by a machine learning module in the complex domain; and obtaining the direction of arrival as an output of the machine learning module.

A computer implemented method for object detection includes: determining a grid, the grid comprising a plurality of grid cells; determining, for a plurality of time steps, for each grid cell, a plurality of respective radar detection data, each radar detection data indicating a plurality of radar properties; determining, for each time step, a respective radar map indicating a pre-determined radar map property in each grid cell; converting the respective radar detection data of the plurality of grid cells for the plurality of time steps to a point representation of pre-determined first dimensions; converting the radar maps for the plurality of time steps to a map representation of pre-determined second dimensions, wherein the pre-determined first dimensions and the pre-determined second dimensions are at least partially identical; concatenating the point representation and the map representation to obtain concatenated data; and carrying out object detection based on the concatenated data.
