Abstract
High-resolution point cloud formation based on the use of a point spread function kernel is disclosed. The proposed disclosure provides the means to generate high angular resolution point clouds by performing a matching process of the point spread function (PSF) to a series of adaptive hypotheses to accurately identify the target signatures using the maximum amount of available information. The proposed method comprises a two-stage processing chain. In the first step, the spatial and the Doppler spectrum of the target responses is calculated and decomposed in terms of the sensor point spread function (PSF). In the second step, the target PSF representation is then processed using a support vector machine to determine the presence of closely located targets that would not be possible to detect using typical automotive RADAR signal processing chains.
