Radar

• Dependency from environmental

conditions

• Estimation - No direct measurement of

range/speed

• Very high computation effort drives power

consumption+ cost

• Cost and size of sensors too high

because of mechanics

• Systems w/o mechanics ~10y behind

RADAR

• Precise measurements but lack of

resolution mainly in angular direction

• Current angular resolution imposes

heavy limit to classification and

mapping capabilities
