Abstract:
A method and apparatus for vehicle recognition are provided, which are combined with a radar apparatus scanning a detection area with electromagnetic waves. Data derived from reflection waves are outputted from the radar apparatus to the vehicle recognizing apparatus to detect a vehicle in the detection area. The vehicle recognizing apparatus is provided with a processor performing a process for the recognition on calculation of the received data for the recognition of vehicles. In the process, weak-refection directions providing weak-reflection points on a vehicle are determined which are defined as radiation directions of the electromagnetic waves in which the reflection waves have intensities lower than a threshold. A common reflection point group defined as a group of reflection points belonging to the same vehicle is supplemented with the weak-reflection points for completing the common reflection point group.

Claim (Index 3):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the point group generating unit is configured to i) determine whether or not the continuous reflection directions exist between two radiation directions of the radiation directions of the electromagnetic waves radiated to the reflection points contained in the common reflection point group, and, when the continuous reflection directions exist between two radiation directions, ii) supplement, with the weak-reflection points, reflection points spaced between the two radiation directions, when it is determined that the continuous reflection directions exist between two radiation directions, such that the weak-reflection points are supplemented at intersections produced between a first approximation linear line and the respective continuous reflection directions,\n the first approximation linear line being approximated as a linear line passing reflection points i) located on any side of the rectangular contour of the object and ii) included in all the reflection points contained on the common reflection point group.
