Enhancing Doppler Ego-Motion Estimation: A Temporally Weighted Approach to RANSAC
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Ego-motion estimation from millimetre-wave Doppler are subjected to high levels of outliers caused by multipath reflections. A common method to reduce the effect of outliers is to fit measurement points to a velocity model using the random sample consensus (RANSAC) algorithm, where the velocity model is traditionally parameterized from data collected from a single time step. In this paper, we show that the temporal relationship of data points between successive measurements can be exploited to improve velocity estimation. Two variations of RANSAC with an integrated weighted sliding window are proposed. Each point in the window receives a weight that decreases over time. In the first algorithm, points are sampled with a temporally weighted probability and the velocity model is generated using least square regression (LSQ). In the second algorithm, points are sampled with a uniform probability but the model is parameterized with a temporally weighted LSQ. The motion of the platform is then calculated for both methods. Experimental results using data from three indoor locations demonstrate an average position accuracy improvement of 19.5% over conventional RANSAC implementations.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
