1. A collision and injury mitigation system for an automotive vehicle comprising:
- two or more object detection sensors detecting an object and generating one or more object detection signals; and
a controller electrically coupled to said two or more object detection sensors performing a fuzzy logic technique to classify said object as a real object or a false object in response to said one or more object detection signals.

Abstract
A collision and injury mitigation system (10) for an automotive vehicle (12) is provided. The system (10) includes two or more object detection sensors (15) that detect an object and generate one or more object detection signals. A controller (16) is electrically coupled to the two or more object detection sensors and performs a fuzzy logic technique to classify the object as a real object or a false object in response to the one or more object detection signals. A method for performing the same is also provided.

18. A method of classifying an object by a collision and injury mitigation system for an automotive vehicle comprising:
-
detecting one or more objects and generating one or more object detection signals;
performing a triangulation technique on said object detection signals and generating an object detection database;
performing a fuzzy logic clustering technique on said object detection database and generating clusters;
filtering said clusters to remove false objects from said object detection database and generating an real object list; and
classifying objects in said real object list. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)

21. A collision and injury mitigation system for an automotive vehicle comprising:
-
two or more object detection sensors detecting an object and generating one or more object detection signals;
a countermeasure; and
a controller electrically coupled to said two or more object detection sensors performing a triangulation technique and a fuzzy logic technique to generate clusters and filtering said clusters to classify said object as a real object or a false object in response to said one or more object detection signals, said controller activating said countermeasure in response to said object classification.
