Alignment system and method for radar apparatus
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An alignment system for a radar apparatus, comprising:
- a fixing die for fixing a bumper rail to which a radar apparatus is mounted;
an angle measuring unit for measuring a mounting angle of the radar apparatus mounted to the bumper rail; and
an alignment control unit for determining whether a current alignment of the radar apparatus in a state in which the radar apparatus is mounted to the bumper rail corresponds to a misalignment state based on the measured mounting angle, and if it is determined that the current alignment state corresponds to a misalignment state, determining a calibration value for a mounting position or a mounting angle of the radar apparatus mounted to the bumper rail with reference to the measured mounting angle and a normal mounting angle range.

4. An alignment method for a radar apparatus, comprising:
-
measuring a mounting angle of a radar apparatus mounted to a bumper rail fixed to a fixing die, by an angle measuring unit provided in an alignment system, while the radar apparatus is mounted to the bumper rail; determining whether a current alignment state of the radar apparatus while the radar apparatus is mounted to the bumper rail corresponds to a misalignment state based on the measured mounting angle, by an alignment control unit provided in the alignment system; and if the alignment control unit determines that the current alignment state corresponds to a misalignment state, determining a calibration value for a mounting position or a mounting angle of the radar apparatus mounted to the bumper rail with reference to the measured mounting angle and a normal mounting angle range, by the alignment control unit.
