Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de réduction des erreurs de détection (36b) lors de la détermination d'informations d'objet relatives à un objet qui est détecté par un système radar, en particulier d'un véhicule. Un seuil de détection initial (42) est réalisé en tant que fonction de fenêtre initiale (44) qui présente un maximum (46). À partir du résultat d'une transformation de Fourier discrète multidimensionnelle d'un signal de réception du système radar, un signal est défini en tant que signal cible dont l'amplitude est supérieure à une valeur limite prédéfinie pour des signaux cibles. La fonction de fenêtre initiale (44) est normalisée en fonction de fenêtre (54) normalisée par rapport à l'amplitude du signal cible. La fonction de fenêtre (54) est déplacée dans une dimension de porte de Doppler-porte de distance du résultat de la transformation de Fourier de telle manière que son maximum se trouve sur le signal cible. Un seuil de détection adapté à partir de la fonction de fenêtre adaptée, normalisée et décalée est comparé au seuil de détection initial (42) de la fonction de fenêtre initiale (44) dont le maximum (46) a été déplacé au maximum du signal cible. Si le seuil de détection adapté est supérieur au seuil de détection initial (42) déplacé, le seuil de détection adapté est utilisé pour le résultat de la transformation de Fourier par rapport aux signaux présentant la même valeur de Doppler et/ou la même valeur de distance que le signal cible. Dans le cas contraire, on utilise le seuil de détection initial (42).
