A collision avoidance and warning system (10) and method (50) are provided. The system (10) includes a sensor (12) and a controller (24). The sensor (12) senses an object (18) in a field of view (14), wherein the sensor (12) determines a direct range measurement (D) between the sensor (12) and the object (18) and an angle measurement (A) of the object (18) with respect to the sensor (12). The controller (24) receives the direct range measurement (D) and angle measurement (A) from the sensor (12), and determines if the object (18) is in an in-path area based upon the direct range measurement (D) and angle measurement (A), as a function in a pseudo polar coordinate frame. |
