Abstract [en]
In this paper a method to find a radar reflectivity spatial profile for comparing 3D surrogate targets with real vehicles is proposed. Utilizing this method, the spatial profile can be acquired using only high-level data from an automotive grade radar. For data within a small angular window at arbitrary aspect angle relative to the target, the proposed method back-projects Radar Cross Section (RCS) detections, to build up a spatial profile. This profile can then be used to evaluate multiple scattering centers on targets, which are important during test of autonomous vehicles and active safety functions. The method is used on measured data from 3D surrogate targets as well as real vehicles, which are presented in the paper.
