Abstract
A detection system to detect an object and a method of performing detection of an object are described. The system includes a radar system to transmit radiation and receive resulting reflections, the object being a distributed radar target reflecting multi-point reflections. The system also includes an auxiliary sensor to estimate one or more parameters of the object, and a processor to estimate a probability density function based on estimates of the one or more parameters of the object and the multi-point reflections and to detect the object based on the probability density function.
