  • Publication number: 20190041497
    Abstract: A system and method to qualify radar returns in a vehicle includes detecting an object using a radar system of the vehicle, and determining that the object is a never-before-seen-moving object that is stationary for an entire duration of the detecting. The method also includes determining whether the never-before-seen-moving object is indicated as a map attribute, and adjusting a confidence level of the detecting by the radar system based on determining that the object is the map attribute. An action is modified based on adjusting the confidence level.
