A method and apparatus for active detection of objects taking into account preceding detection results

摘要

A method for detecting a objects within an environment of a vehicle, comprising the steps of:Repeated transmission of transmitter - wave pulses are in the environment;Repeated reception of reception wave pulses are - the of the objects which correspond to the reflected transmitter - wave pulses are;Detection of the objects on the basis of a signal representation of the reception - wave pulses, and determining at least one signal characteristic of a first reception - wave pulses, wherein the detection of the objects comprises:Comparing the curve than the signal characteristic of the first reception - waves pulse with the course of a further reception - waves pulse, the position according to the first reception - waves pulse has been received, wherein on the basis of a comparison of location information of the object to be tracked; orDetermining a noise power or a running time than the signal characteristic of the first reception - waves pulse, the provision of threshold values as a function of the noise power or of the propagation time, the signal characteristic; and a discretising of the profile of a further reception - waves pulse according to the threshold values.
