Target object identification method and device

The embodiment of the invention discloses a target object identification method and device. The method comprises the steps of transmitting a triggering signal to a radar and a camera, and enabling the triggering signal to be used for triggering the radar and the camera, and in the process that the radar performs scanning according to the triggering signal, determining high-order features of image data of the camera. According to the scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, the high-order features of the image data can be determined in the radar scanning process, so that the calculation amount of extracting the high-order features of the image data after the radar completes scanning can be reduced, the target object identification efficiency is improved, the time delay in the target object identification process is reduced, and the real-time performance of target object identification is improved. Furthermore, according to the scheme, by obtaining the high-order features of the image data, richer da
