Abstract
An apparatus comprises processing circuitry is configured to receive at least one previous position of a previous target from a track data list; to determine whether a position of a target determined by a radar measurement is within a vicinity of the previous position; and replace the previous position with the position in the track data list in response to the position being within the vicinity of the previous position.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to:
- receive at least one previous position of a previous target from a track data list,
- receive, in real time, a position of a target from a radar sensor,
- determine, in real time, whether the position of the target received from the radar sensor is within a vicinity of the previous position, and
- in response to the position of the target received from the radar sensor being within the vicinity of the previous position:
- replace, in real time, the previous position with the position in the track data list with the position of the target received from the radar sensor, and
- associate, in real time, the position of the target received from the radar sensor with a zone of a presence zone grid comprising a plurality of zones, wherein each zone of the plurality of zones represents a predetermined range interval and a predetermined angle interval;
- and
- an output interface configured to output presence information indicating a presence within a field of view of the radar sensor, the presence information comprising a number of the plurality of zones comprising a target on the track data list.

A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor with instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor enable the system to:
- receive at least one previous position of a previous target from a track data list,
- receive, in real time, a position of a target from a radar sensor,
- determine, in real time, whether the position of the target received from the radar sensor is within a vicinity of the previous position, and
- in response to the position of the target received from the radar sensor being within the vicinity of the previous position:
- replace, in real time, the previous position with the position in the track data list with the position of the target received from the radar sensor, and
- associate, in real time, the position of the target received from the radar sensor with a zone of a presence zone grid comprising a plurality of zones, wherein each zone of the plurality of zones represents a predetermined range interval and a predetermined angle interval;
- and
- an output interface configured to output presence information indicating a presence within a field of view of the radar sensor, the presence information comprising a number of the plurality of zones comprising a target on the track data list.

A method, comprising:
- receiving, in real time, target information indicating a position of a target from a radar sensor;
- receiving at least one previous position of a previous target from a track data list;
- determining, in real time, that the position of the target received from the radar sensor is within a vicinity of the previous position;
- in response to the position of the target received from the radar sensor being within the vicinity of the previous position:
- replacing, in real time, the previous position with the position in the track data list with the position of the target received from the radar sensor, and
- associating, in real time, the position of the target received from the radar sensor with a zone of a presence zone grid comprising a plurality of zones, wherein each zone of the plurality of zones represents a predetermined range interval and a predetermined angle interval;
- and
- outputting, via an output interface, presence information indicating a presence within a field of view of the radar sensor, the presence information comprising a number of the plurality of zones comprising a target on the track data list.
