Claim 13:
14. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
receiving, from the phase coherent FM LIDAR monopulse component immediately prior to receiving the group, a prior group of prior FM LIDAR data points that collectively capture a plurality of the points in the area of the environment of the vehicle,
each of the prior FM LIDAR data points of the prior group indicating a corresponding prior range and a corresponding prior velocity for the corresponding points in the environment, and each being generated based on a prior corresponding sensing event of the phase coherent FM LIDAR monopulse component;
wherein determining that the subgroup, of the FM LIDAR data points of the group, corresponds to the object of the particular classification is further based on both:
the corresponding prior ranges for multiple of the prior FM LIDAR data points, and
the corresponding prior velocities for multiple of the prior FM LIDAR data points.
