Better maps for better self-driving cars?
New research by Prof. Ginzburg on object detection breaks with long-held principles of radar technologies
08 April 2019
Radar technologies were originally designed to identify and track airborne military targets. Today they're more often used to detect motor vehicles, weather formations and geological terrain. A new study that was conducted jointly by Prof. Ginzburg, Vitali Kozlov, Rony Komissarov and Dmitry Filonov, all of the School of Electrical Engineering, finds that an approach inspired by optical coherence tomography (OCT) requires little to no bandwidth to accurately create a high-resolution map of a radar's surrounding environment.
