ADC/UART data capturing using xWR1843/AWR2243 with DCA1000

  • for xWR1843: capture both raw ADC IQ data and processed UART point cloud data simultaneously in Python and C(pybind11) without mmwaveStudio
  • for AWR2243: capture raw ADC IQ data in Python and C(pybind11) without mmwaveStudio

Introduction

  • 该模块主要分为两部分,mmwave和fpga_udp:
    • mmwave修改自OpenRadar,用于配置文件读取、串口数据发送与接收、原始数据解析等。
    • fpga_udp修改自pybind11 example以及mmWave-DFP-2G,用于通过C语言编写的socket代码从网口接收DCA1000发回的高速的原始数据。对于AWR2243这种没有片上DSP及ARM核的型号,还实现了利用FTDI通过USB发送指令用SPI控制AWR2243的固件写入、参数配置等操作。
  • TI的毫米波雷达主要分两类,只有射频前端的和自带片上ARM及DSP/HWA的。前者型号有AWR1243AWR2243等,后者型号有xWR1443xWR6443xWR1843xWR6843AWR2944等。
    • 对于只有射频前端的雷达传感器,一般是通过SPI/I2C接口向其发送控制及配置指令,并通过CSI2/LVDS接口输出原始数据。其中SPI接口可以用DCA1000板载的FTDI芯片转为USB协议直接用电脑控制,LVDS接口的数据也能用DCA1000板载的FPGA采集并转为UDP包通过以太网传输。本仓库实现了上述所有操作。
    • 对于自带片上ARM及DSP的雷达传感器,则可以烧录控制程序,用片上ARM对雷达传感器进行配置,用片上DSP处理原始数据并得到点云等数据,通过UART传输。其中原始数据除了送入片上DSP,还能配置为通过LVDS接口输出,并利用DCA1000板载的FPGA采集。本仓库实现了上述所有操作。当然,自带片上ARM及DSP的雷达传感器也有SPI/I2C等接口,也可以利用该接口对雷达传感器进行配置,并通过DCA1000板载的FTDI将SPI转为USB用电脑控制。mmwaveStudio就是这样做的,但本仓库暂未实现该方法,可参考mmWave-DFP自行实现。

testGtrack.py

利用cppyy测试C语言写的gTrack算法。该算法为TI的群目标跟踪算法,输入点云,输出轨迹。

The algorithm is designed to track multiple targets, where each target is represented by a set of measurement points. Each measurement point carries detection informations, for example, range, azimuth, elevation (for 3D option), and radial velocity.

Instead of tracking individual reflections, the algorithm predicts and updates the location and dispersion properties of the group.

The group is defined as the set of measurements (typically, few tens; sometimes few hundreds) associated with a real life target.

Algorithm supports tracking targets in two or three dimensional spaces as a build time option:

  • When built with 2D option, algorithm inputs range/azimuth/doppler information and tracks targets in 2D cartesian space.
  • When built with 3D option, algorithm inputs range/azimuth/elevation/doppler information and tracks targets in 3D cartesian space.

Input/output

  • Algorithm inputs the Point Cloud. For example, few hundreds of individual measurements (reflection points).
  • Algorithm outputs a Target List. For example, an array of few tens of target descriptors. Each descriptor carries a set of properties for a given target.
  • Algorithm optionally outputs a Target Index. If requested, this is an array of target IDs associated with each measurement.

Features

  • Algorithm uses extended Kalman Filter to model target motion in Cartesian coordinates.
  • Algorithm supports constant velocity and constant acceleartion models.
  • Algorithm uses 3D/4D Mahalanobis distances as gating function and Max-likelihood criterias as scoring function to associate points with an existing track.
