• Abstract: A complete overview of the surrounding vehicle environment is important for driver assistance systems and highly autonomous driving. Fusing results of multiple sensor types like camera, radar and lidar is crucial for increasing the robustness. The detection and classification of objects like cars, bicycles or pedestrians has been analyzed in the past for many sensor types. Beyond that, it is also helpful to refine these classes and distinguish for example between different pedestrian types or activities. This task is usually performed on camera data, though recent developments are based on radar spectrograms. However, for most automotive radar systems, it is only possible to obtain radar targets instead of the original spectrograms. This work demonstrates that it is possible to estimate the body height of walking pedestrians using 2D radar targets. Furthermore, different pedestrian motion types are classified.

  We introduce Radar Fields - a neural scene reconstruction method designed for active radar imagers. Our approach unites an explicit, physics-informed sensor model with an implicit neural geometry and reflectance model to directly synthesize raw radar measurements. We validate the effectiveness of the method across diverse outdoor scenarios, including urban scenes with dense vehicles and infrastructure.

  Automotive radars are low-cost active sensors that measure properties of surrounding objects. They are seldom used for scene understanding due to the size and complexity of radar raw data. We propose several novel architectures, and their associated losses, which analyse multiple "views" of the range-angle-Doppler radar tensor to segment it semantically.
