Road Surface Conditions Identification via H α A Decomposition and Its Application to mm-Wave Automotive Radar

A novel approach based on the entropy-alpha-anisotropy decomposition, also known as the $H\alpha A$ decomposition, for the recognition of road surface conditions using automotive radar is presented. To apply the $H\alpha A$ decomposition to automotive radar data, a dedicated signal processing pipeline has been developed. To investigate its...

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...
