ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 19 -- United States Patent no. 12,332,374, issued on June 17, was assigned to Aptiv Technologies AG (Schaffhausen, Switzerland).
"Distribution fitting constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detection" was invented by Xining Yu (Carmel, Ind.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Distribution fitting Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) detection is described. Noise data in cells or bins around a target cell are fit to a noise distribution model, such as a Rayleigh distribution model. With a suitable noise distribution curve from the distribution model, a CFAR threshold for that cell along the curve can be determined. A quantile function of the noise distribution model for a bin or cell pr...
