Adaptive Millimetro makes use of automotive radars and enables communication with and accurate localization of roadside infrastructure overextended distances (i.e. >100m). Millimetro achieves this by designing ultra-low-power retro-reflective tags that operate in the mmWave frequency band and can be embedded in road signs, pavements, bi-cycles, or even the clothing of pedestrians. Millimetro addresses the severe path loss problem of mmWave signals by combining coding gain and retro-reflective antenna front-end to achieve long-range operation. However, highly mobile scenarios may still experience unreliable performance due to the Doppler effect changing the received signals. In this paper, we demonstrate a simple solution for robust localization in high mobility by implementing a Moving Target Indication (MTI) filter and an adaptive Kalman filter. We also present an augmented reality app, as an in-car AR platform, that uses Adaptive Millimetro’s algorithms to estimate the tag positions and overlay a virtual box at the estimated locations.}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 27th Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking}, pages = {883–884}, numpages = {2}, location = {New Orleans, Louisiana}, series = {MobiCom '21} }
