Abstract
A method of adjusting a detection threshold in a frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system includes determining a first confidence threshold with respect to a confidence metric for detecting a first target within a range of frequencies corresponding to a field of view of the LIDAR system, determining a subset of frequencies within the range of frequencies for detecting a second target, wherein a frequency peak associated with the second target has a confidence metric value lower than the first confidence threshold, and adjusting the first confidence threshold to a second confidence threshold at the subset of frequencies for detecting the second target.
