Title:
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INTERPOLATION IN SYSTEMS WITH NON-LINEAR QUANTIZATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/005498
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Various aspects and examples are directed to methods and systems for interpolation in systems that execute non-linear quantization routines. Particular aspects of the methods described herein include a method of detecting a Radar Cross Section (RCS) and a method of detecting patient injuries. In one example, a method of detecting RCS includes receiving a sequence of samples at a re-visit rate of a radar antenna, the sequence of samples being based on electromagnetic energy reflected from a target, interpolating a model curve to the sequence of samples, where each sample of the sequence of samples geometrically increases in value relative to a previous sample of the sequence of samples, comparing the model curve to a calibrated curve and determining a shift between the model curve and the calibrated curve based on the comparison, and detecting a RCS based on the shift between the model curve and the calibrated curve.
