A method includes an operation to collect radar signals reflected from objects in a field of view. Range-angle-doppler bins representing three-dimensional objects in the field of view are formed. A local median operation is used across a selected dimension of the range-angle-doppler bins to eliminate background noise in the range-angle-doppler bins. Low energy peak regions are masked by removing radial velocity values in the selected dimension to form a sparse range-angle two-dimensional grid. The radar signals reflected from objects in the view of view are processed to extract reflection point detections. Reflection point detections are tracked in accordance with short-term filter rules to form tracked reflection point detections. The tracked reflection point detections are formed into clusters. The clusters are processed with long-term filter rules.

In an aspect, in general, a programmable computation device performs computations of an inference task specified by a plurality of variables and a plurality of factors, each factor being associated with a subset of the variables. The device includes one or more processing elements. Each processing element includes a first storage for a definition of a factor, a second storage for data associated with the inputs and/or outputs of at least some of the computations, and one or more computation units coupled to the first storage and the second storage for performing a succession of parts of the at least some of the computations that are associated with a factor, the succession of parts defined by data in the storage for the definition of the factor.
