First Claim
1. A method for estimating an object motion characteristic from a radar signal, comprising the steps ofreceiving radar data of an object from a multiple beam radar system;
- associating radar data with at least one of estimated height or cross-range information of object parts causing the corresponding radar data;
fitting an object model with radar data being associated with at least one of a selected estimated height or cross-range information interval, anddetermining an object motion characteristic from the fitted object model.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for estimating an object motion characteristic from a radar signal. The method comprises the step of receiving radar data of an object from a multiple beam radar system. Further, the method comprises the steps of associating radar data with estimated height and/or cross-range information of object parts causing the corresponding radar data and fitting an object model with radar data being associated with a selected estimated height and/or cross-range information interval. The method also comprises the step of determining an object motion characteristic from the fitted object model.
