RADAR-BASED ESTIMATION OF THE HEIGHT OF AN OBJECT

A computer-implemented method for determining a height of an object in a surrounding of a vehicle, the method comprising: acquiring radar data in respect of each of a plurality of vertically distributed antenna elements of a radar antenna; estimating an elevation spectrum from the acquired radar data; extracting one or more features representative of the shape of the estimated elevation spectrum; and determining the height of the object using the extracted one or more features.
