MMWCAS-RF-EVM: How to get the result of the depth map？

Part Number: MMWCAS-RF-EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWCAS-DSP-EVM,

Hello, I have a question now. I have purchased the MMWCAS-RF-EVM and the MMWCAS-DSP-EVM used in conjunction with it.

What I want to ask is whether this set of cascaded radars can generate environmental images perpendicular to the ground. I am in Most of the post-processing results such as angles and distances seen in mmwave studio are bird's-eye views. I'm now going to use Cascaded Radar to get something like a depth map of the environment. can you guys help me？

    Hi Xiao,

    It is possible to obtain a depth map as you have mentioned once you have obtained the (x,y,z) point cloud. The default view in many cases would be the x-y view. To generate the x-z view, you will have to re-orient how you visualize the point cloud. You should be able to use the value of the y co-ordinate to indicate the depth (radar's boresight). The procedure on a high level would be to plot the x-z and denote the amplitude of each detection with value of y using a color spectrum.

    Regards,

    Hello, first of all I don't quite understand what you mean by " The procedure on a high level ". Is this a different imaging method than point cloud conversion? If not, what I want to ask is whether there is a way to obtain the reflection intensity of the x-z plane by using the cascaded radar on hand to realize the imaging of the x-z plane without using point cloud conversion? thank you for your reply.

    Thanks，

    Xiao
