Abstract
An object detection system configured for detecting objects within a front blind zone of a vehicle. The object detection system may be configured for determining positional coordinates for a plurality of candidate objects forward of a front fascia of the vehicle, determining a visibility curve for a driver of the vehicle, and identifying each of the candidate objects as one of a visible object or an occluded object based on a comparison of the positional coordinates to the visibility curve.
