There are approximately 45k, 7k, and 13k samples in the training, validation and test set, respectively. The reflection branch gets a (30,1) input that contains the radar cross-section (RCS) values corresponding to the reflections associated to the object to be classified. Here we propose a novel concept for radar-based classification, which utilizes the power of modern Deep Learning methods to learn favorable data representations and thereby replaces large parts of the traditional radar signal processing chain. For each associated reflection, a rectangular patch is cut out in the k,l-spectra around its corresponding k and l bin.

Mentioning: 3 - Radar sensors are an important part of driver assistance systems and intelligent vehicles due to their robustness against all kinds of adverse conditions, e.g., fog, snow, rain, or even direct sunlight. 2020 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSC). The range-azimuth spectra are used by a CNN to classify different kinds of stationary targets in [14]. Typical traffic scenarios are set up and recorded with an automotive radar sensor. real-time uncertainty estimates using label smoothing during training. The NN receives a spectral input of shape (32,32,1), with the numbers corresponding to the bins in k dimension, in l dimension, and to the number of input channels, respectively. The true classes correspond to the rows in the matrix and the columns represent the predicted classes. We propose a method that detects radar reflections using a constant false alarm rate detector (CFAR) [2].

Reliable object classification using automotive radar Our proposed approach works with several objects in the FoV of the radar sensor, and can still utilize the radar spectrum, since the spectral ROI for each object is determined. sensors has proved to be challenging. 1. and moving objects. We present a hybrid model (DeepHybrid) that receives both For each object, a sparse region of interest (ROI) is extracted from the range-Doppler spectrum, which is used as input to the NN classifier. CFAR [2]. By design, these layers process each reflection in the input independently. Automated vehicles need to detect and classify objects and traffic participants accurately. The signal corruptions, regardless of the correctness of the predictions. Automotive radar has shown great potential as a sensor for driver assistance systems due to its robustness to weather and light conditions, but reliable classification of object types in real time has proved to be very challenging. The automatically-found NN uses less filters in the Conv layers, which leads to less parameters than the manually-designed NN. Usually, this is manually engineered by a domain expert.

Fraunhofer-Institut fr Nachrichtentechnik, Heinrich-Hertz-Institut HHI, Deep Learning-based Object Classification on Automotive Radar Spectra. We choose a size of 30 to ensure a fixed-size input, which is typically larger than the number of associated reflections, and set the remaining values to zero. The RCS input is processed by two convolutional layers with a 11, kernel, each followed by a rectified linear unit (ReLU) function. To solve the 4-class classification task, DL methods are applied. The approach accomplishes the detection of the changed and unchanged areas by, IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters. This type of input can be interpreted as point cloud data [28], therefore the design of this branch is inspired by [28]. Experiments on a real-world dataset demonstrate the ability to distinguish relevant objects from different viewpoints. [21, 22], for a detailed case study). We record real measurements on a test track, where the ego-vehicle with a front-mounted radar sensor approaches various objects, each one multiple times, and brakes just before it hits the object. Unfortunately, DL classifiers are characterized as black-box systems which output severely over-confident predictions, leading downstream decision-making systems to false conclusions with possibly catastrophic consequences. For learning the RCS input, DeepHybrid needs 560 parameters in addition to the already 25k required by the spectrum branch. This is used as Hence, the RCS information alone is not enough to accurately classify the object types. The plot shows that NAS finds architectures with almost one order of magnitude less MACs and similar performance to the manually-designed NN. Radar-reflection-based methods first identify radar reflections using a detector, e.g. 2016 IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR). The kNN classifier predicts the class of a query sample by identifying its. parti Annotating automotive radar data is a difficult task. Thus, we achieve a similar data distribution in the 3 sets. Each object can have a varying number of associated reflections. available in classification datasets. Since part of the range-Doppler spectrum is used, both stationary and moving targets can be classified. The investigation shows that further research into training and calibrating DL networks is necessary and offers great potential for safe automotive object classification with radar sensors, and the quality of confidence measures can be significantly improved, thereby partially resolving the over-confidence problem. radar cross-section. After the objects are detected and tracked (see Sec. Therefore, several objects in the field of view (FoV) of the radar sensor can be classified. classical radar signal processing and Deep Learning algorithms. Reliable object classification using automotive radar sensors has proved to be challenging. 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].

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. / Radar imaging The goal of NAS is to find network architectures that are located near the true Pareto front. A hybrid model (DeepHybrid) is presented that receives both radar spectra and reflection attributes as inputs, e.g. We build a hybrid model on top of the automatically-found NN (red dot in Fig. In conclusion, the RCS input yields an absolute improvement of 5.7% in test performance at a cost of only about 2% more parameters. After that, we attach to the automatically-found CNN a sequence of layers that process reflection-level input information (reflection branch), obtaining thus the hybrid model we propose. for Object Classification, 3DRIMR: 3D Reconstruction and Imaging via mmWave Radar based on Deep Comparing the architectures of the automatically- and manually-found NN (see Fig. 4 (a) and (c)), we can make the following observations. layer. NAS yields an almost one order of magnitude smaller NN than the manually-designed one while preserving the accuracy. 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. Therefore, the observed micro-Doppler effect is limited compared to a longitudinally moving pedestrian, which makes it harder to classify the laterally moving dummies correctly [7]. The approach, named SSD, discretizes the output space of bounding boxes into a set of default boxes over different aspect ratios and scales per feature map location, which makes SSD easy to train and straightforward to integrate into systems that require a detection component.
