Abstract |
The millimeter-wave radar, as an important sensor, is widely used in autonomous driving. In recent years, to meet the requirement of high level autonomous driving applications, attentions have been paid to generate high-quality radar point clouds. However, in the complex roadway environment, the weaknesses of classical radar detectors are exposed, such as too much clutter points and sparse valid point clouds. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new automotive radar detector based on deep learning using the spatial distribution feature of the real targets, in order to improve the performance of automotive radar detector in the real-world driving scene. Besides, aiming at the lack of radar data labels, we propose an autonomous labeling method by using synchronized Lidar data. Finally, we evaluate the detector on data collected in the real-world roadway scene and the result shows that the proposed radar detector out-performs the classical radar detectors in suppressing the clutter and generating denser point clouds. |
