Abstract: The invention detects a ghost occurring due to
mispairing, reflections from a wall, or the like, and
improves the ability of a radar to track targets when
actual relative velocity changes by more than a certain
value. If a stationary target is present within a
prescribed region centered about a moving target, the
stationary target is excluded from output data by
determining it as being a target resulting from
mispairing due to the detection of guardrail posts or
similar structures. Further, a moving target that is
expected to collide with an eligible target is also
excluded from the output data by determining it as being
a target resulting from mispairing due to the detection
of a target having many reflecting points. For a moving
target showing an unlikely relative velocity, pairing
with some other peak is attempted by determining the
moving target as being a target resulting from mispairing
due to the detection of a plurality of moving targets
moving in the same direction. When there are two targets
substantially equal in distance and velocity, the target
located outward, as viewed from the radar-equipped
vehicle, is excluded from the output data by determining
it as being a ghost occurring due to reflections from a
wall or like structure. After checking continuity, if
the present data is not one calculated by extrapolation
but the previous data is one calculated by extrapolation,
filtering calculations are not performed for the
calculation of the relative velocity; in other cases, the
filtering calculations are performed.

Abstract: Meteorological radar precipitation pattern prediction methods and apparatus are provided, by which operational costs can be reduced, a series of physical processes in a precipitation region and topographical influences can be considered. The main method has the steps of inputting radar images of a precipitation region storing the input radar images as time-series two-dimensional images; calculating various image-feature quantities with respect to two or more of the stored two-dimensional past images; calculating a spatial-temporal transition of the amount of precipitation using an advection-diffusion equation system which indicates various physical effects relating to precipitation phenomena, with the various image-feature quantities as initial values; predicting transition of a pattern with respect to the precipitation region based on results of the calculation; and outputting predicted results as time-series images. Preferably, the advection-diffusion equation system includes time, advection, diffusion, source, sink, and dispersion terms, and a gray-level at each pixel is supplied to the equation as a variable corresponding to an amount of precipitation. If the advection-diffusion equation system includes an advection term which is a product of an advection vector and the first derivative with respect to a gray-level of a relevant pixel in a precipitation pattern, the amount of precipitation is varied according to transition of advection vectors.
