Abstract

An environment recognition system using vehicular millimeter wave radar includes a millimeter wave radar device detecting obstructions outside a vehicle and transforming detection results into reflection information. An energy intensity calculation device, an anti-noise calculation device, and an obstruction width calculation device are signally connected with the millimeter wave radar device to receive the reflection information, respectively calculate energy intensity information, signal-to-noise ratios and width information of the obstructions and transmit them to a control device. The control device integrates the energy intensity information, the signal-to-noise ratios and the width information to recognize types of the obstructions. The present invention can effectively recognize various obstructions outside the vehicle whereby the vehicle immediately reacts like performing a corresponding safety anti-collision system when detecting pedestrians.
