How-To

Start with Set Up a Radar Sensor, which builds the panel-field scene with an approaching cube. The runnable Python and C examples also offer a simpler two-cube scene.

For a new device, follow these tasks in order; otherwise go straight to the one you need:

• Build a Profile from a Spec Sheet — plan a profile from a vendor specification.

• Choose Parameter Values — map specifications to attributes and identify values to calibrate.

• Run More Than One Scan Pattern — alternate scans and identify which produced a frame.

• Simulate Moving Targets — enable the motion BVH and advance animation to obtain radial velocity.

• Validate a Parameterization — check the profile using controlled scenes and repeated measurements.

See USD Attributes for controls and Outputs for detections.
