Radio Wave Sensor Coordinate Mapping for Road Detection Areas

The patent uses coordinate information from a map (external data source) to create a virtual model of the detection area, eliminating the need to physically move reference objects to multiple positions. The map data serves as a copy or representation of the actual geographic space, allowing setting work to be performed on the virtual model rather than in the physical environment.

The patent replaces the mechanical process of physically moving reference objects and performing field measurements with an information processing approach using coordinate transformation algorithms. Instead of mechanical field work, the system uses computational methods to transform map coordinates into sensor coordinate system coordinates, automatically calculating detection area positions without physical intervention.

The patent performs preliminary actions by acquiring and storing coordinate information of the detection area from a map before the actual sensor setting process. This preliminary data preparation includes obtaining latitude/longitude coordinates and any necessary transformation parameters, so that when setting is required, the work can proceed directly with data processing rather than requiring new field measurements.

The patent introduces coordinate transformation as an intermediary process between map data and sensor settings. Rather than directly measuring in the field or relying on repeated detection data acquisition, the transformation process serves as a mediator that converts geographic coordinate systems into sensor-specific coordinate systems, ensuring reliability through mathematical precision while maintaining productivity.
