1. A system comprising:
one or more radar sensors configured to detect one or more targets around the host vehicle and associating a radar target identifier with each of said detected one or more targets;
one or more image sensors configured to detect one or more targets in the field of view of the host vehicle and associating a vision target identifier with each of said detected one or more targets; and
a processing unit comprising a processor coupled with a memory, the memory storing the instructions executable by the processor to:
receive information corresponding to detected one or more targets from the one or more radar sensors and the one or more image sensors, wherein the information comprises lateral distance, longitudinal distance and velocity components of the detected one or more targets from the host vehicle;
match each of the one or more targets detected by the one or more radar sensors with one or more targets detected by the one or more image sensors to identify a target as a matched target when said target is detected by both the one or more radar sensors and the one or more image sensors;
categorize the matched target as a locked target when said target is iteratively identified as the matched target for a pre-defined duration; and
track the locked target using information received from the one or more radar sensors, wherein said tracking is performed even in the event when said locked target is subsequently not detected by the one or more image sensors.
