Short-Range Millimeter-Wave Radar Perception in a Polar Environment

Autonomous vehicle operations in Antarctica challenge robotic perception. Flying ice and snow, changing illumination due to low sun angles and lack of contrast degrade stereo and laser sensing. Millimeter-wave radar offers remarkable advan- tages as a robotic perception modality because it is not as...

Description
Summary:Autonomous vehicle operations in Antarctica challenge robotic perception. Flying ice and snow, changing illumination due to low sun angles and lack of contrast degrade stereo and laser sensing. Millimeter-wave radar offers remarkable advan- tages as a robotic perception modality because it is not as sensi- tive to the aforementioned conditions. Experiments with millimeter-wave radar in an Antarctic environment show mini-
