Object Detection - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18173171 titled 'Object Detection

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system that uses radar waves to determine the shape of a restraint.

  • The system includes a radar sensor that transmits radar waves and receives reflected waves.
  • The transmitted waves reflect off the restraint and other objects.
  • The reflected waves from the restraint are used to determine the shape of the restraint.
  • A controller is used to analyze the reflected waves and determine the shape of the restraint.


Original Abstract Submitted

A system that includes a radar sensor configured to transmit radar waves receive a first group of reflected radar waves and a second group of reflected radar waves. A restraint includes a material that causes the transmitted radar waves to reflect off the restraint to generate the first group of reflected radar waves, and the second group of radar waves is reflected off objects other than the restraint. A controller is configured to determine a shape of the restraint based on the first group of reflected radar waves.
