Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to radar signal processing technology, and more particularly to a target tracking method, device and storage medium based on 5D millimeter-wave radar. Background Technology

[0002] With rapid economic development and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the car ownership rate is gradually increasing, but at the same time, traffic accidents are also on the rise. Therefore, the demand for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in the field of safer, more intelligent vehicles has increased significantly. ADAS can proactively assess and prevent emergencies before the driver notices them, thereby reducing harm caused by driver error and improving driving safety.

[0003] In ADAS systems, pedestrians, as typical vulnerable road users, are of paramount importance in environmental perception. ADAS detects pedestrians by collecting data reflected from the surrounding environment by sensors installed in the vehicle, thereby predicting potential road hazards and taking appropriate protective measures. Commonly used sensors in ADAS include cameras, ultrasonic radar, lidar, and 4D millimeter-wave radar. However, the first few types of sensors have various drawbacks. Cameras are particularly susceptible to light conditions; ultrasonic radar has a long detection cycle, short maximum detection range, and is greatly affected by temperature and environment; lidar is bulky, expensive, has rapid attenuation, and has an extremely narrow beam, limiting its target search and acquisition capabilities to a small area. Millimeter-wave radar, on the other hand, is gradually gaining an increasingly important position among ADAS sensors due to its all-weather operation, immunity to light conditions, long detection range, high accuracy, low cost, and small size.
