Use Case – Empty Parking Space

In this test we wanted to analyze the point cloud for empty parking space detection. We use the capabilities of the ultra-short range (0m-10m) sub-frame. The processing chain is configured to perform 3D MIMO detection (azimuth and elevation, 1 Tx enabled at a time) with a maximum range of 10m. The sensor is placed at bumper height at 45 degrees. Testing is performed with moving sensor, the car driving through a parking lot. The detected point cloud is shown in Figure 3-8.
