System for determining speed and related mapping information for a speed detector
First Claim
1. A system for determining speed and related mapping information of a moving object, comprising:
- a storage resource; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the storage resource, wherein the processor executes application code instructions that are stored in the storage resource to cause the system to;
process a plurality of time of flight data over a measurement time interval;
determine a distance range between the system and each of a plurality of moving objects for each time of flight data;
calculate speed of at least one of the moving objects;
determine system coordinates and associate system coordinates with at least one of speed, a change in range of at least one of the moving objects, its azimuthal orientation, time, and angular rate of the system provided from the calculation of the speed, in response to receiving a user initiated lock command;
receive a map associated with the system coordinates in response to sending a query with the system coordinates to a map database; and
communicate the map and the at least one of the speed, the change in range of at least one of the moving objects, its azimuthal orientation, time, and the angular rate of the system.

Abstract
A system that can determine and provision speed and mapping information of a moving object. Time of flight data over a time period can be processed to determine ranges between the system and the moving object and the speed can be determined therefrom. The speed can be determined by calculating the radial velocity and tangential velocity of the object and taking the square root of the addition of the square of each. Alternatively, the speed can be determined by calculating a linear regression curve fit for instantaneous distances of the moving object in the direction of motion for a plurality of ranges and determining the slope of the linear regression curve fit. After a lock of the determined speed, system coordinates can be identified and associated with the speed. A map can be received based upon the system coordinates and the map, speed and speed related parameters can be communicated.
