Evaluation of a Novel Radar Based Scanning Method

(a) Presentation of the distribution of the position estimation error over an observation area with two sensors at and , in case of a constant of = 0.03 m. Although the assumption of a constant is not correct, this diagram aims to clarify the effect that gets very high at the sides of the radar network; hence the accuracy of our sensor principle is bad, if an object is entering from the side of the observation area, which is usually the case in our rotating sensor network. (b) Area of ambiguity, which is caused by the two rms errors and .
