Abstract
A sensing system for a vehicle includes at least one radar sensor disposed at the vehicle and having a field of sensing exterior of the vehicle. The radar sensor includes multiple transmitting antennas and multiple receiving antennas. The transmitting antennas transmit signals and the receiving antennas receive the signals reflected off objects. Multiple scans of radar data sensed by the radar sensor are received at a control, and a vehicle motion estimation is received at the control. The control, responsive to received scans of sensed radar data, detects the presence of objects within the field of sensing of the radar sensor. The control, responsive to the received scans of sensed radar data and the received vehicle motion estimation, synthesizes a virtual aperture and matches objects detected in the scans and determines a separation between detected objects by tracking the detected objects over two or more scans.
