AWR1843BOOST: How to ignore the stationary objects when RadarSensor is moving?

Expert 2050 points
Part Number: AWR1843BOOST

We use automotive MRR demo. Is it possible to ignore the stationary objects when Radar sensor is moving? Such as the parking vehichles buildings. 

To my understangding, when the Radar sensor is moving, the stationary objects are relativly moving, it seems that is impossible to ignore the stationary objects. 

Kind regards

  • Hi Lei,

    Your understanding is accurate. It isn't directly possible to ignore the stationary objects as such in the MRR demo. However, you can look up stationary object detection algorithms such as RANSAC and implement the same in your application to remove such points.

  • Thanks Kaushik, 

    Can you please advise where I can find the description of RANSAC? Is this algorith in MRR demo?

    Kind regards

  • Hi Lei,

    The algorithm is not used in the MRR demo. The high-end corner radar demo in the automotive toolbox has the RANSAC algorithm implemented which you can go through. Alternatively, you can also search for the term RANSAC on the web to find resources that can help you. 

    Usually, the velocity of the car is taken as an input externally through the CAN port and provided to the application using which the stationary points can be removed.
