Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) for localisation of Autonomous Vehicles

一个准确、强大和可靠的定位系统对于自动驾驶汽车的广泛采用至关重要。定位系统的性能在很大程度上取决于所使用的信息源，然而，目前使用激光雷达和基于摄像头的技术的自动车辆车载传感存在不同的问题，如成本、全天候和全光条件下的准确性。为了解决这些问题，并开始开发利用探地雷达(GPR)技术进行自动车辆定位的解决方案，Innovate UK正在支持一个由Technics Group和萨里大学共同参与的初始项目。捷豹路虎和军械勘测作为咨询小组的一部分参与其中。

An accurate, robust and reliable localisation system is essential for the widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles. The performance of localisation systems depends highly on the information sources utilised, however the current on-board sensing of autonomous vehicles, using LiDAR and camera-based techniques suffers from different issues, such as cost, and accuracy in all-weather and all-light conditions. To address these issues, and to start to develop a solution utilising Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology for autonomous vehicle localisation, Innovate UK is supporting an initial project involving Technics Group and the University of Surrey. Jaguar Land Rover and Ordnance Survey are participating as part of an Advisory Panel.
