Claim 10:
11. A perception system for identification of an object, comprising:
a beam steering radar configured for scanning within a field of view (FoV) scan range; and
a perception engine operatively coupled to the beam steering radar, the perception engine comprising:
an optimizing proximity clustering module configured to receive radar data of the object from the beam steering radar;
a pixel map generation unit configured to generate a three-dimensional (3D) pixel map from two-dimensional information including angle of arrival data from the radar data,
wherein the angle of arrival data are partitioned into a plurality of bins that are organized at a specified angle interval for the FoV scan range, and
wherein the 3D pixel map comprises a 3D coordinate vector having range data in a first axis, velocity data in a second axis, and the angle of arrival data in a third axis; and

a pixel traverse unit,
wherein the perception module is configured to change the FoV based on a detection of the object.
