Abstract

The present invention relates to a device (20) for determining a radar target list, comprising: an input interface (22) for receiving preprocessed sensor data from a radar sensor (18) with information on detected strengths at high points (H1, H2) in a distance and/or velocity dimension and in predefined neighborhood ranges of the high points in the distance and/or velocity dimension; an analysis unit (24) for determining mutually adjacent high points with overlapping neighborhood ranges based on the preprocessed sensor data; an adjustment unit (26) for adjusting the neighborhood ranges of the mutually adjacent high points; and an evaluation unit (28) for determining a radar target list with information on targets (17) in a field of view of the radar sensor based on the high points and the neighborhood ranges thereof. The present invention also relates to a method for determining a radar target list and a sensor system (10) for detecting targets (17) in an environment (12) of a vehicle (14).
