[Online]. We consider 8 different types of parked cars, moving pedestrian dummies, moving bicycle dummies, and several metallic objects that lie on the ground and are small enough to be run over, see Fig. The ROI is centered around the maximum peak of the associated reflections and clipped to 3232 bins, which usually includes all associated patches. Then, the ROI is converted to dB, clipped to the dynamic range of the sensor, and finally scaled to [0,1]. 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. The capability of a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) combined with three types of data augmentation operations in SAR target recognition is investigated, showing that it is a practical approach for target recognition in challenging conditions of target translation, random speckle noise, and missing pose. The proposed method can be used for example to improve automatic emergency braking or collision avoidance systems. Related approaches for object classification can be grouped based on the type of radar input data used. 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.

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. Thus, we achieve a similar data distribution in the 3 sets. Available: , AEB Car-to-Car Test Protocol, 2020. Compared to radar reflections, using the radar spectra can be beneficial, as no information is lost in the processing steps. Experiments on a real-world dataset demonstrate the ability to distinguish relevant objects from different viewpoints. This work demonstrates a possible solution: 1) A data preprocessing stage extracts sparse regions of interest (ROIs) from the radar spectra based on the detected and associated radar reflections.

N.Scheiner, N.Appenrodt, J.Dickmann, and B.Sick, Radar-based road user 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. Before employing DL solutions in safety-critical applications, such as automated driving, an indispensable prerequisite is the accurate quantification of the classifiers' reliability.

Patent, 2018. We propose a method that combines classical radar signal processing and Deep Learning algorithms.. 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. Each experiment is run 10 times using the same training and test set, but with different initializations for the NNs parameters. 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. Besides precise detection and localization of objects, a reliable classification of the object types in real time is important in order to avoid unnecessary, evasive, or automatic emergency braking maneuvers for harmless objects.
