In robotic applications gridmaps are a common representation of the environment. For the automotive field, radar as sensing technology is suitable due to its robustness. This paper presents two radar-based grid-mapping algorithms for automotive applications like self-localization. These algorithms involve first an amplitude-based approach, which gains information about the RCS of all targets, and second an occupancy grid-mapping approach with an adapted inverse sensor measurement model. Experiments show that both gridmapping algorithms result in adequate representations of the environment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
