Abstract
An automotive detection system includes a signal transmitter and a receiver, which generates receive signals indicative of reflected signals. A processor (i) receives the receive signals, (ii) processes the receive signals to generate detections of one or more objects in the region, each of the detections being associated with a position in a two-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system in a plane in which the sensor is moving, (iii) detects a pattern of detections in the two-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system by determining a quantity of detections having coordinates in a rectangular region within the two-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system, (iv) determines an angle of an axis of the rectangular region with respect to a reference direction in the two-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system, and (v) determines an angle of misalignment of the sensor from the angle of the axis of the rectangular region with respect to the reference direction.
