Statistical Polarimetric RCS Model of an Asphalt Road Surface for mm-Wave Automotive Radar

A method for extracting fully polarimetric statistical properties of road surface radar cross sections is presented. This method is subsequently applied to extract radar cross section information from an asphalt road surface. Furthermore, an approach is introduced to synthesise the scattered signal of road surface returns as measured by a radar....

Classification of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) Carrying Payloads with Polarimetric Radar

The ability of a fully polarimetric radar to discriminate between payloads carried by UAVs is demonstrated. A novel approach has been employed in the feature extraction algorithm, where features from individual and combined polarimetric channels are extracted for classification. Decision and ensemble fusions on the respective extracted features...
