• Abstract summary: Radar sensors are an important part of the environment perception system of autonomous vehicles. One of the first steps during the processing of radar point clouds is often the detection of clutter. Another common objective is the semantic segmentation of moving road users. We show that our setup is highly effective and outperforms every existing network for semantic segmentation on the RadarScenes dataset.

• Abstract: The unique properties of radar sensors, such as their robustness to adverse weather conditions, make them an important part of the environment perception system of autonomous vehicles. One of the first steps during the processing of radar point clouds is often the detection of clutter, i.e. erroneous points that do not correspond to real objects. Another common objective is the semantic segmentation of moving road users. These two problems are handled strictly separate from each other in literature. The employed neural networks are always focused entirely on only one of the tasks. In contrast to this, we examine ways to solve both tasks at the same time with a single jointly used model. In addition to a new augmented multi-head architecture, we also devise a method to represent a network's predictions for the two tasks with only one output value. This novel approach allows us to solve the tasks simultaneously with the same inference time as a conventional task-specific model. In an extensive evaluation, we show that our setup is highly effective and outperforms every existing network for semantic segmentation on the RadarScenes dataset.

  Our approach formulates the union of the two tasks as a trajectory refinement problem. To tackle this unified task, we design a refinement transformer that infers the presence, pose, and multi-modal future behaviors of objects. In our experiments, we observe that ourmodel outperforms the state-of-the-art on Argoverse 2 Sensor and Open dataset.

  We propose a new self-supervised method for pre-training the backbone of deep perception models operating on point clouds. The core idea is to train the model on a pretext task which is the reconstruction of the surface on which the 3D points are sampled. The intuition is that if the network is able to reconstruct the scene surface, given only sparse input points, then it probably also captures some fragments of semantic information.

  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.
