Abstract
A system and method are provided for detecting and identifying elongated objects relative to a host vehicle. The method includes detecting objects relative to the host vehicle using a plurality of object detection devices, identifying patterns in detection data that correspond to an elongated object, wherein the detection data includes data fused from at least two of the plurality of object detection devices, determining initial object parameter estimates for the elongated object using each of the plurality of object detection devices, calculating object parameter estimates for the elongated object by fusing the initial object parameter estimates from each of the plurality of object detection devices, and determining an object type classification for the elongated object by fusing the initial object parameter estimates from each of the plurality of object detection devices.
