Abstract:
In 3D localization of object in space, three essential parameters are required for exact position estimation in spherical co-ordinates. These parameter are: the distance of the physical object from radar and the azimuthal angle with respect to magnetic field direction and the angle of elevation of the object. In classical approach, two radars at different locations make use of their target tracking capability to locate the object’s exact position with collaboration in respective co-ordinate system. The challenge arises when trying to track the object and need to compute all above mentioned three parameters with single radar. This challenge was up-taken with the proposed approach to track the object locality in space with single radar and aiding camera. A single radar is capable of obtaining the two parameters (object distance and azimuth angle) single handedly but for third one (the elevation of object), is measure by the camera in the proposed system, hence omitting the need of second radar. The result of this approach produce all necessary parameters required for object localization. These parameters later converted from spherical to rectangular co-ordinates to provide x,y and z measurements of the object in space.
