Motion Estimation and Compensation in Automotive MIMO SAR
With the advent of self-driving vehicles, autonomous driving systems will have to rely on a vast number of heterogeneous sensors to perform dynamic perception of the surrounding environment. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems increase the resolution of conventional mass-market radars by exploiting the vehicle's ego-motion, requiring a very accurate knowledge of the trajectory, usually not compatible with automotive-grade navigation systems. In this regard, this paper deals with the analysis, estimation and compensation of trajectory estimation errors in automotive SAR systems, proposing a complete residual motion estimation and compensation workflow. We start by defining the geometry of the acquisition and the basic processing steps of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) SAR systems. Then, we analytically derive the effects of typical motion errors in automotive SAR imaging. Based on the derived models, the procedure is detailed, outlining the guidelines for its practical implementation. We show the effectiveness of the proposed technique by means of experimental data gathered by a 77 GHz radar mounted in a forward looking configuration.
