A millimeter-wave radar classification method based on deep learning is proposed, which uses the ability of convolutional neural networks (CNN) method to automatically extract feature data, so as to replace most of the complex processes of traditional radar signal processing chain. partially resolving the problem of over-confidence. In comparison, the reflection branch model, i.e.the reflection branch followed by the two FC layers, see Fig. 2015 16th International Radar Symposium (IRS). The range-azimuth information on the radar reflection level is used to extract a sparse region of interest from the range-Doppler spectrum. The pedestrian and two-wheeler dummies move laterally w.r.t.the ego-vehicle. Note that the manually-designed architecture depicted in Fig. The obtained measurements are then processed and prepared for the DL algorithm. Comparing search strategies is beyond the scope of this paper (cf. Patent, 2018. Typical traffic scenarios are set up and recorded with an automotive radar sensor. 5) by attaching the reflection branch to it, see Fig. Towards Deep Radar Perception for Autonomous Driving: Datasets, Methods, and Challenges, DeepHybrid: Deep Learning on Automotive Radar Spectra and Reflections 2019, 110 URL https://www.scipedia.com/public/Visentin_et_al_2019a, Collection of open conferences in research transport, http://publica.fraunhofer.de/documents/N-589549.html, http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=8835775, http://xplorestaging.ieee.org/ielx7/8819608/8835488/08835775.pdf?arnumber=8835775, https://academic.microsoft.com/#/detail/2974922121, http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/radar.2019.8835775. The metallic objects are a coke can, corner reflectors, and different metal sections that are short enough to fit between the wheels. integrated into an 24 ghz automotive radar, in, A.Bartsch, F.Fitzek, and R.Rasshofer, Pedestrian recognition using This paper copes with the clustering of all these reflections into appropriate groups in order to exploit the advantages of multidimensional object size estimation and object classification. The authors of [6, 7] take the radar spectrum into account to compute additional features for the classification, and [8] uses feature extractors known from vision to apply them on the radar spectrum. On the other hand, if there is a small object that can be run over, e.g.a can of coke, the ego-vehicle should classify it correctly and just ignore it. However, a long integration time is needed to generate the occupancy grid. This shows that there is a tradeoff among the 3 optimization objectives of NAS, i.e.mean accuracy, number of parameters, and number of MACs. Our investigations show how simple radar knowledge can easily be combined with complex data-driven learning algorithms to yield safe automotive radar perception. the gap between low-performant methods of handcrafted features and Compared to methods where the complete angular spectrum is computed for all bins in the r,v-spectrum, we need to estimate the angle only for the detected reflections, which is computationally cheaper. These labels are used in the supervised training of the NN. The confusion matrices of DeepHybrid introduced in III-B and the spectrum branch model presented in III-A2 are shown in Fig. The approach can be extended to more sophisticated association algorithms, e.g.DBSCAN [3], or methods that take into account the measurement uncertainties in the different dimensions, e.g.the Mahalanobis or the association log-likelihood distance [20]. 1. This study demonstrates the potential of radar-based object recognition using deep learning methods and shows the importance of semantic representation of the environment in enabling autonomous driving. We identify deep learning challenges that are specific to radar classification and introduce a set of novel mechanisms that lead to significant improvements in object classification performance compared to simpler classifiers. To solve the 4-class classification task, DL methods are applied. networks through neuroevolution,, I.Y. Kim and O.L. DeWeck, Adaptive weighted-sum method for bi-objective There are many possible ways a NN architecture could look like. 4) The reflection-to-object association scheme can cope with several objects in the radar sensors FoV. This enables the classification of moving and stationary objects. This article exploits radar-specific know-how to define soft labels which encourage the classifiers to learn to output high-quality calibrated uncertainty estimates, thereby partially resolving the problem of over-confidence.

Experiments show that this improves the classification performance compared to Therefore, we use a simple gating algorithm for the association, which is sufficient for the considered measurements. D.P. Kingma and J.Ba, Adam: A method for stochastic optimization, 2017. / Radar tracking smoothing is a technique of refining, or softening, the hard labels typically Due to the small number of raw data automotive radar datasets and the low resolution of such radar sensors, automotive radar object detection has been little explored with deep learning models in comparison to camera and lidar- based approaches. Deep learning (DL) has recently attracted increasing interest to improve object type classification for automotive radar.In addition to high accuracy, it is crucial for decision making in autonomous vehicles to evaluate the reliability of the predictions; however, decisions of DL networks are non-transparent. To improve the classification accuracy, we use a hybrid approach and input both radar reflection attributes, e.g.the radar cross-section (RCS), and radar spectra into the NN.

We find that deep radar classifiers maintain high-confidences for ambiguous, difficult samples, e.g. This has a slightly better performance than the manually-designed one and a bit more MACs. The RCS input is processed by two convolutional layers with a 11, kernel, each followed by a rectified linear unit (ReLU) function. It uses a chirp sequence-like modulation, with the difference that not all chirps are equal. https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1109/ITSC48978.2021.9564526.

The goal is to extract the spectrums region of interest (ROI) that corresponds to the object to be classified. 3. classification and novelty detection with recurrent neural network Then, the radar reflections are detected using an ordered statistics CFAR detector. learning on point sets for 3d classification and segmentation, in. The range-azimuth spectra are used by a CNN to classify different kinds of stationary targets in [14]. The following mutations to an architecture are allowed during the search: adding or removing convolutional (Conv) layers, adding or removing max-pooling layers, and changing the kernel size, stride, or the number of filters of a Conv layer. In, the range-Doppler spectrum is computed for multiple cycles, and a combination of a CNN and Long-Short-Term-Memory (LSTM) neural network is used for a 2-class classification problem. with C being the number of classes, pc the number of correctly classified samples, and Nc the number of samples belonging to class c. The objects ROI and optionally the attributes of its associated radar reflections are used as input to the NN. This type of input can be interpreted as point cloud data [28], therefore the design of this branch is inspired by [28]. Manually finding a high-performing NN architecture that is also resource-efficient w.r.t.an embedded device is tedious, especially for a new type of dataset. Experiments on a real-world dataset demonstrate the ability to distinguish relevant objects from different viewpoints. Up to now, it is not clear how to best combine classical radar signal processing approaches with Deep Learning (DL) algorithms. Since part of the range-Doppler spectrum is used, both stationary and moving targets can be classified.
