Abstract
A method, system and vehicle that repetitively correct angle offsets in a synthetic aperture radar image of a vehicle while the vehicle is in motion by utilizing a radar system and a camera to determine accurate velocity of a measured object by matching angles of the object in the SAR image with angles of the object in the camera image, thereby reducing angle offsets of objects in the SAR image. The method includes obtaining an SAR image of another vehicle via a radar unit of the vehicle, obtaining a camera image of the other vehicle via a camera unit of the vehicle, determining an association between at least one object in the SAR image and a corresponding at least one object in the camera image, correcting a velocity estimation of the vehicle based on the determined association, and adjusting the SAR image based on the corrected velocity estimation.
