Classification method for objects in vicinity of vehicle, generating class belonging to object and forwarding for further processing, e.g. to driver assistance system

摘要

The classification method involves the steps of transmitting radar signals into the monitored vicinity of the vehicle and receiving reflected radar signals. This way at least one target is detected. Target specific characteristics are extracted from the echo signals and passed to a classifier, which performs classification of at least one detected target. A class belonging to a target is generated and then forwarded for further processing, e.g. to a driver assistance system. An independent claim is also included for a classification device.
