Robert Laganière, Professor at the University of Ottawa and CEO of Sensor Cortek, presents the “Introduction to Modern Radar for Machine Perception” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
In this presentation, Laganière provides an introduction to radar (short for radio detection and ranging) for machine perception. Radar is a proven technology with a long history of successful development and it plays an increasingly important role in the deployment of robust perception systems.
Laganière explains how radar sensors work—in particular, how radio waves are used to accomplish detection and ranging. He explains key concepts behind this technology, including Doppler effect, time-of-flight, frequency modulation and continuous waves (FMCW). Finally, he explores the main advantages and disadvantages of radar for machine perception.
