Abstract

A method for radar imaging is disclosed herein. The method may comprise using a plurality of radar antenna arrays provided on a terrestrial vehicle to obtain phase measurements associated with one or more radar signals transmitted and received by the plurality of radar antenna arrays as the terrestrial vehicle moves through an environment. The method may further comprise processing the phase measurements to compute (i) a set of object-specific properties for one or more objects external to the terrestrial vehicle and (ii) a set of vehicle-specific properties for the terrestrial vehicle. The method may further comprise using the set of object-specific properties and the set of vehicle-specific properties to generate one or more radar images of the environment as the terrestrial vehicle moves through the environment.
