Abstract

Techniques are described for determining a likelihood that a radar device failed to detect an object (i.e., a false negative). Determining the likelihood may be based at least in part on determining an estimated noise floor based at least in part on at least a portion of radar data, which may comprise one or more detections, and determining a likelihood that the portion of radar data includes a false positive, based at least in part on the estimated noise floor and a response profile associated with an object. A response profile may identify a received signal power and/or radar cross section associated with an object type.
