Terrain Imaging and Perception using Millimetre Wave Radar

Comparison of Scanning Laser Range-finders and Millimetre-wave Radar for Creating a Digital Terrain Map

Evolution of a Suite of Smart Millimetre Wave Radar Systems for Situational Awareness and Automation in Mines

This paper defines the issues required for the development of successful visualisation sensors for use in open cut and underground mines. It examines the mine environment and considers both the reflectivity of the rock and attenuation effects of dust and water droplets. Millimetre wave technology, as an alternative to the more commonly used laser and sonar implementations, is selected due to it...

Use of a portable topographic mapping millimetre wave radar at an active lava flow

[1] A ground-based millimetre wave radar, AVTIS (Allweather Volcano Topography Imaging Sensor), has been developed for topographic monitoring. The instrument is portable and capable of measurements over ranges up to 7 km through cloud and at night. In April and May 2005, AVTIS was deployed at Arenal Volcano, Costa Rica, in order to determine topographic changes associated with the advance of a ...

Interferometric inverse synthetic aperture radar experiment using an interferometric linear frequency modulated continuous wave millimetre-wave radar

An interferometric linear frequency modulated continuous wave (LFMCW) millimetre-wave radar is presented, along with the results of an experiment conducted to srudy the feasibility of using it in a ñirure millimetre-wave interferometric inverse synthetic aperture radar (InISAR) system. First, a description of the radar is given. Then, the signal processing chain is described, with special atten...

Millimetre Waves for Robotics

A review of the use of millimetre wave radar for robotic applications is presented. The paper includes a brief overview of the different radar and scanner technologies that are available and finishes with a review of some of the techniques that can be used to represent and use radar data.
