It can be applied to different types of road conditions, such as roads with or without curbs, having relatively rough road surface and with obstacles on road surface. In the method, some line segments are extracted after a series of preprocessing on range data. The extracted line segments are combined and further selected. They are then united to match the road models and generate the road boundary points which are tracked by Kalman filter. Then the obtained road boundary points are transformed to build a precise vector map by least squares fitting algorithm. These fitted line segments represent road boundary vectors. The vector map is precise enough to provide ample road information such as the orientation of road, the road width and the passable road region. Finally, extensive experiments conducted in urban and semi-urban environment demonstrate the robustness, effectiveness and viability of the proposed method.展开更多

For the perfect adaptability to targets and the HF of the HF integrated RCS calculation platform, this technique is suitable to solve large complex targets and has lower requirement to the target modeling. A comparison with the result of 2-D radar imaging confirms the accuracy and reliability of this technique in recognition of the major scattering source on complex targets. This technique provides the foundation for rapid integrated evaluation of the scattering performance and 3-D scattering model reconstruction of large complex targets.展开更多

Communication duration represents the key performance indicator for LEO satellite communication systems. For longer communication sessions, more satellites must be involved, and the signals must be handed over from one satellite to the next to provide uninterrupted real-time services to the appropriate user or ground station. This leads to the concept and structure of the satellites organized in the constellation. Communication window (visibility window) depends on the designed horizon plane width determined by licensed elevation angle. For the appropriate calculations, a satellite from the Starlink constellation at altitude of 550 km is considered, observed under licensed designed elevations of 40˚ and 25˚. Calculations under two designed elevation levels confirmed the wider horizon and consequently longer communication under the lower elevation.展开更多
