Combined Hybrid mm-Waves and Optics Sensing with Smart Data Fusion for Autonomous Vehicles
Abstract
Combination of agile mm-Wave MIMO Phased Array technologies with Optical Sensing solutions is proposed toward new functionalities for environmental perceptions and ubiquitous interactions. The resulting paradigms will operate the unification of mm-Wave and optical sensing solutions for enabling emerging technologies relative to interactions of humans with smart devices and systems in randomly changing environments. Perspectives for Autonomous Vehicles with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) including Gesture-Recognition (GR) through ubiquitous interactions based on hybrid agile mm-Wave RFIC technologies and optical systems are drawn. Several hardware realizations of mm-Wave phased-array systems and MIMO links operating in the mm-Wave range are built and co-assembled with optical systems for smart data fusion and real-time treatment for improvement decision making process.
