The present invention suggests a target detecting apparatus and method using a radar which detect a target using a recursive modified cell average-constant false alarm rate (RMCA-CFAR) detector without having a sorting process. The present invention provides a target detecting apparatus using a radar, the apparatus including: a data selecting unit which compares reference data with at least one of previous data and subsequent data which are located at both sides of the reference data, from a received signal including information on a distance and a speed for multiple targets, to select specific data; a cell average calculating unit which calculates an average of cells extracted using a sliding window including the specific data; a CFAR data detecting unit which detects CFAR data based on the average of the extracted cells; and a target detecting unit which detects the target based on the CFAR data.

1. A target detecting apparatus using a radar, the apparatus comprising: a data selecting unit which selects specific data by comparing a first value of reference data with one or both of a second value of previous data and a third value of subsequent data, the previous data and the subsequent data
1. A target detecting apparatus using a radar, the apparatus comprising: a data selecting unit which selects specific data by comparing a first value of reference data with one or both of a second value of previous data and a third value of subsequent data, the previous data and the subsequent data being located at first and second sides of the reference data, respectively, a received signal including the previous data, the reference data, and the subsequent data, the received signal indicating information on a distance and a speed for one or more targets;a cell average calculating unit which calculates an average value of extracted cells using a sliding window including the specific data;a constant false alarm rate (CFAR) data detecting unit which detects CFAR data based on the average value of the extracted cells; anda target detecting unit which detects the one or more targets based on the CFAR data. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the data selecting unit selects one of the compared data having a minimum value as the specific data. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the previous data is first previous data and the subsequent data is first subsequent data, and the received signal further includes second previous data and second subsequent data, the second previous data being located at the first side of the reference data and farther than the first previous data from the reference data, the second subsequent data being located at the second side of the reference data and farther than the first subsequent data from the reference data, wherein when the first previous data is not available in comparing the first value of the reference data, the data selecting unit compares the first value of the reference data with one or both of the third value of the first subsequent data and a fourth value of the second subsequent data to select the specific data,wherein when the first subsequent data is not available in comparing the first value of the reference data, the data selecting unit compares the first value of the reference data with one or both of the second value of the first previous data and a fifth value of the second previous data to select the specific data, andwherein when the first previous data and the first subsequent data are available in comparing the first value of the reference data, the data selecting unit compares the first value of the reference data, the second value of the first previous data, and the third value of the first subsequent data to select the specific data. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the cell average calculating unit calculates the average value of the extracted cells in accordance with a shift of the sliding window. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising: a cell size determining unit which determines a size of a cell, the cell including the reference data and the one or both of the previous data and the subsequent data in accordance with a position of the sliding window. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the CFAR data detecting unit multiplies the average value of the extracted cells by a predetermined factor to detect the CFAR data. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the target detecting unit detects the one or more targets using a vehicle radar in a cluttered environment. 8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the target detecting apparatus is mounted in a vehicle. 9. A target detecting method using a radar, the method comprising: selecting specific data by comparing a first value of reference data with one or both of a second value of previous data and a third value of subsequent data, the previous data and the subsequent data being located at first and second sides of the reference data, respectively, a received signal including the previous data, the reference data, and the subsequent data and indicating information on a distance and a speed for one or more targets;calculating an average value of extracted cells using a sliding window including the specific data;detecting constant false alarm rate (CFAR) data based on the average value of the extracted cells; anddetecting the one or more targets based on the CFAR data. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein in the selecting, one of the compared data having a minimum value is selected as the specific data. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the previous data is first previous data and the subsequent data is first subsequent data, and the received signal further includes second previous data and second subsequent data, the second previous data being located at the first side of the reference data and farther than the first previous data from the reference data, the second subsequent data being located at the second side of the reference data and farther than the first subsequent data from the reference data, wherein in selecting the specific data, when the first previous data is not available, the first value of the reference data is compared with one or both of the third value of the first subsequent data and a fourth value of the second subsequent data to select the specific data,wherein in selecting the specific data, when the first subsequent data is not available, the first value of the reference data is compared with one or both of the second value of the first previous data and a fifth value of the second previous data to select the specific data, andwherein in selecting the specific data, when the first previous data and the first subsequent data are available, the first value of the reference data, the second value of the first previous data, and the third value of the first subsequent data are compared to select the specific data. 12. The method of claim 9, wherein in the calculating, the average value of the extracted cells is calculated in accordance with a shift of the sliding window. 13. The method of claim 9, further comprising: determining a size of a cell which includes the reference data and the one or both of the previous data and the subsequent data in accordance with a position of the sliding window. 14. The method of claim 9, wherein in detecting the CFAR data, the average value of the extracted cells is multiplied by a predetermined factor to detect the CFAR data. 15. The method of claim 9, wherein in detecting the one or more targets, the one or more targets are detected using a vehicle radar in a cluttered environment. 16. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein each of the first value of the reference data, the second value of the previous data, and the third value of the subsequent data is a single value.
