Abstract
A device and method for extending an object identification range in a vehicle environment are disclosed. In this regard, the embodiments may operate to solve to a remaining one of a set of pre-defined shape models to an object by successive iterations of point cloud data and associated closing distance to the object. Successive iterations of point cloud data may include receiving, via an object sensor device, the point cloud data, and detecting at least a portion of an object from the point cloud data, which portion is compared with each of a set of pre-defined shape models. The set is updated to include ones comparing favorably with the point cloud data. When the successive iterations solve to a singular remaining one of the set, an iterative match to the object may be based on the singular remaining one of the set of pre-defined shape models to identify the object.
