Patent attributes
This invention relates to a target detection device and its detection method, comprising: a transmitting unit for transmitting a detecting pulse to detect target which then reflects the detecting pulse to generate a reflected pulse; a plurality of measuring units, located at different positions respectively which receive said reflected pulse and generates measured values of distance and measured values of velocity according to the reflected pulse received; a plurality of two-stage linear Kalman filters, corresponding to said plural measuring units respectively, each of said plural two-stage linear Kalman filters proceeds an operation according to the measured values produced by corresponding measuring unit so as to generate respectively the estimation values of distance, velocity and acceleration; an arithmetic unit connecting to said plural two-stage linear Kalman filters, which proceeds a triangulation operation according to said estimation values so as to generate distance component values, velocity component values and acceleration component values with respect to the target.
