Abstract
A method is provided for classifying a tracked object in an environment of a vehicle. The vehicle includes a plurality of radar sensors and a processing device configured to establish a neural network. According to the method, local radar detections are captured from an object in the environment of the vehicle via the radar sensors. Based on the local radar detections, point features and tracker features are determined. The point features are encoded via point encoding layers of the neural network, whereas the tracker features are encoded via track encoding layers of the neural network. A temporal fusion of the encoded point features and the encoded tracker features is performed via temporal fusion layers of the neural network. The tracked object is classified based on the fused encoded point and tracker features via classifying layers of the neural network.
