Patent attributes
A method includes identifying, from a reflected radar signal, a plurality of single detections corresponding to object surface spots detected by the radar sensor system, wherein the positions of the single detections in a Range-Doppler-map are deter-mined, wherein at least a region of the Range-Doppler map is divided into a plurality of adjacent evaluation regions separated by separation lines, wherein the separation lines extend parallel to one of the range axis and the Doppler axis. For each evaluation region, at least one selected detection is determined which has, among the detections present in the respective evaluation region, an extremal value with respect to the other axis of the range axis and the Doppler axis, and a boundary of the at least one object is determined based on the selected detections.
