Abstract
A method of classifying objects within a vehicle (12) includes the detection of an object and the generation of an object detection signal in response to the detection. A range signal is generated in response to the object detection signal. An image detection signal is generated having an image representation of the object. The object detection signal is projected on an image plane (122) in response to the image detection signal to generate a fused image reference (120). A search region (144) is generated on the image plane (122) in the vicinity of the fused image reference (120). A vector of feature values is calculated via generation of a sum-array (152) and in response to the range signal and the image detection signal. The search region (144) is classified in response to the vector of feature values.
