Abstract
A set of radar data is organized as a two dimensional (2D) array with multiple lines of data. A 2D cross point analysis is performed on each set of data to detect objects in range of the radar system. A set of candidate objects is identified by performing an initial one dimensional (1D) analysis on a line of data along a first axis of the set if data to determine a candidate location of each candidate object along the first axis; however, the set of candidate objects may include false objects. The set of candidate objects is pruned by performing a cross 1D analysis of the data along a second axis of the set of data at a position corresponding to each candidate location along the first axis to select a set of most likely candidate objects from the set of candidate objects.
