Traffic Monitoring Object Detection and Tracking Reference Design Using mmWave Radar Sensor

Texas Instruments

This reference design demonstrates how our single-chip millimeter-wave (mmWave) technology can be used for robust: long-range sensing in traffic monitoring and other applications. The reference design can use the IWR1642BOOST evaluation module (EVM) or the IWR1843BOOST evaluation module (EVM) and integrates a complete radar processing chain onto the IWR1642: IWR6843 or IWR8143 device. The processing chain includes the analog radar configuration: analog-to-digital converter (ADC) capture: low-level FFT processing: and high level clustering and tracking algorithms. This reference design is intended to be built on top of our mmWave SDK for a cohesive software experience including APIs: libraries and tools for evaluation: development and data visualization.
