In this paper a method for interference detection and cancellation for automotive radar systems is proposed. With the growing amount of vehicles equipped with radar sensors, interference mitigation techniques are getting more and more important to maintain good interoperability. Based on the time domain signal of a 76 GHz chirp sequence radar the interfering signals of FMCW radar sensors are identified. This is performed by image processing methods applied to the time-frequencyimage. With the maximally stable extremal regions algorithm the interference pattern in the signal is identified. Once the disturbed samples are known they are zeroed. To avoid any ringing effects in the processed radar image the neighborhood of affected samples is smoothed using a raised cosine window. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated on real world measurements. The method reveals weak scattering centers of the vehicle, which are occluded by interference otherwise.
