In this presentation we provide an introduction to radar (short for radio detection and ranging) for machine perception. Radar is a proven technology with a long history of successful development and it plays an increasingly important role in the deployment of robust perception systems. We explain how radar sensors work—in particular, how radio waves are used to accomplish detection and ranging. We explain key concepts behind this technology, including Doppler effect, time-of-flight, frequency modulation and continuous waves (FMCW). Finally, we explore the main advantages and disadvantages of radar for machine perception.
