Abstract
A system for classifying an object may include one or more processors, a sensor and a memory device. The memory device may include a data collection module, a starburst module, and an object classifying module. The modules have instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to obtain three dimensional point cloud data from the sensor, identify at least one cluster of points representing the object within the three dimensional point cloud data, identify a center point of the at least one cluster of points, project a plurality of rays from the center point to points of the at least one cluster of points to generate a shape, compare the shape to a plurality of candidate shapes, and classify the object when the shape matches at least one of the plurality of candidate shapes.
