Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 8:
9. A method, comprising:
transmitting, from a radar, electromagnetic waves;
receiving, in the radar, reflections of the electromagnetic waves;
generating, in the radar, data representative of a radar image based on the reflections of the electromagnetic waves received in a transceiver of the radar;
executing, in the radar, instructions implementing matrix computation of an artificial neural network to generate an output of the artificial neural network responsive to an input containing the data representative of the radar image, the artificial neural network configured to recognize features in the radar image; and
transmitting, from the radar to a host system, data representative of a description of the features identified via the artificial neural network from the radar image;
capturing, using an image sensor of the radar, an optical image of a scene corresponding to the radar image;
writing data representative of the optical image into random access memory of the radar as part of the input to the artificial neural network, the random access memory and the image sensor being configured in a same integrated circuit device;
writing the data representative of the radar image into the random access memory of the radar as part of the input to the artificial neural network in parallel with the writing of the data representative of the optical image into the random access memory;
storing the input into the random access memory of the radar for a predetermined period of time after the transmitting of the data representative of the description to the host system;
receiving, within the predetermined period of time, a request from the host system;
transmitting the input to the host system; and
erasing the input from the radar after the predetermined period of time.
