Abstract
The problem of 3D ego-motion velocity estimation using multichannel Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FM CW) radar sensors has been studied. Special attention is given to presence of moving targets in the scene. These targets are first distinguished by the difference between the measured Doppler, and the Doppler calculated with an initial rough estimation of the vehicle ego-velocity. Then, an iterative algorithm is proposed to reduce the influence of the moving targets in the ego-motion estimation procedure, thus improving the overall accuracy. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with state-of-the-art alternatives based on simulated data, and superior performance has been demonstrated.
