Abstract
An apparatus for a motor vehicle driver assistance system is provided. The apparatus is configured to optimise object clusters, where each object cluster includes a sequence of position measurements for at least one object in the vicinity of the vehicle. Initially, in a pre-clustering phase, the assignment of the measured object positions to the object clusters may be based on the relative proximity of the measured object positions. The apparatus identifies a rogue object cluster on the basis of a first diagnostic, and a rogue object track from the measurements within the rogue object cluster. The position measurements from the rogue object track are removed from the clusters, and remaining position measurements in the rogue object cluster are reassigned to the other object clusters. The rogue object cluster is removed. Thus the object clusters are optimised.
