AWR1843: What is the definition of Cluster and Tracking Objects in mmwave radar dev?

Expert 2050 points
Part Number: AWR1843

I would like to undestand the differences between Cluster and Tracking Objects in the TI document. Can you please let me know the exact definition of these two terms ?

Kind regards

  • Hi,

       Clustering in general refers grouping of similar objects. However, with respect to mmWave radar dev, clustering refers to grouping of point cloud data points from radar and we will use this clustering to find the mean location of the object which will be further used in tracking of objects. 

       Tracking refers estimating the trajectory and position of the object (with box/some shape around the object)  in the radar plane as the object moves in the scene.

       Let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks and Regards,

    Akshay.
