Deep Learning-based Object Classification on Automotive Radar Spectra (2019) | Kanil Patel | 42 Citations Scene understanding for automated driving requires accurate detection and classification of objects and other traffic participants. On the other hand, if there is a small object that can be run over, e.g.a can of coke, the ego-vehicle should classify it correctly and just ignore it. This shows that there is a tradeoff among the 3 optimization objectives of NAS, i.e.mean accuracy, number of parameters, and number of MACs. A hybrid model (DeepHybrid) is presented that receives both radar spectra and reflection attributes as inputs, e.g. We use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website. Moreover, we can use the k,l- or r,v-spectra for classification, but still use the azimuth information in addition for association. Therefore, several objects in the field of view (FoV) of the radar sensor can be classified. (b) shows the NN from which the neural architecture search (NAS) method starts. We find that deep radar classifiers maintain high-confidences for ambiguous, difficult samples, e.g. Current DL research has investigated how uncertainties of predictions can be . Up to now, it is not clear how to best combine classical radar signal processing approaches with Deep Learning (DL) algorithms. Scene understanding for automated driving requires accurate detection and classification of objects and other traffic participants. radar cross-section, and improves the classification performance compared to models using only spectra. This has a slightly better performance than the manually-designed one and a bit more MACs. focused on the classification accuracy. The proposed method can be used for example to improve automatic emergency braking or collision avoidance systems. algorithm is applied to find a resource-efficient and high-performing NN. 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. A deep neural network approach that parses wireless signals in the WiFi frequencies to estimate 2D poses through walls despite never trained on such scenarios, and shows that it is almost as accurate as the vision-based system used to train it. We propose to apply deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) directly to regions-of-interest (ROI) in the radar spectrum and thereby achieve an accurate classification of different objects in a scene. This paper copes with the clustering of all these reflections into appropriate groups in order to exploit the advantages of multidimensional object size estimation and object classification. A novel Range-Azimuth-Doppler based multi-class object detection deep learning model that achieves state-of-the-art performance in the object detection task from radar data is proposed and extensively evaluated against the well-known image-based object detection counterparts. For further investigations, we pick a NN, marked with a red dot in Fig. IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems, This paper presents a novel change detection approach for synthetic aperture radar images based on deep learning. A range-Doppler-like spectrum is used to include the micro-Doppler information of moving objects, and the geometrical information is considered during association. For each associated reflection, a rectangular patch is cut out in the k,l-spectra around its corresponding k and l bin. 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.

Deep Learning-based Object Classification on Automotive Radar Spectra Authors: Kanil Patel Universitt Stuttgart Kilian Rambach Tristan Visentin Daniel Rusev Abstract and Figures Scene. 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 approach automatically captures the intricate properties of the radar returns in order to minimize false alarms and fuse information from both the time-frequency and range domains. Experimental results with data from a 77 GHz automotive radar sensor show that over 95% of pedestrians can be classified correctly under optimal conditions, which is compareable to modern machine learning systems. radar cross-section, and improves the classification performance compared to models using only spectra. In the considered dataset there are 11 times more car samples than two-wheeler or pedestrian samples, and 3 times more car samples than overridable samples. Experiments on a real-world dataset demonstrate the ability to distinguish relevant objects from different viewpoints. optimization: Pareto front generation,, K.Deb, A.Pratap, S.Agarwal, and T.Meyarivan, A fast and elitist A millimeter-wave radar classification method based on deep learning is proposed, which uses the ability of convolutional neural networks (CNN) method to automatically extract feature data, so as to replace most of the complex processes of traditional radar signal processing chain. simple radar knowledge can easily be combined with complex data-driven learning The RCS is computed by taking the signal strength of the detected reflection and correcting it by the range-dependent dampening and the two-way antenna gain in the azimuth direction. Then, the ROI is converted to dB, clipped to the dynamic range of the sensor, and finally scaled to [0,1]. Several design iterations, i.e.trying out different architectural choices, e.g.increasing the convolutional kernel size, doubling the number of filters, yield the CNN shown in Fig. The processing pipeline from the radar time signal to the part of the radar spectrum that is used as input to the NN is depicted in Fig. We identify deep learning challenges that are specific to radar classification and introduce a set of novel mechanisms that lead to significant improvements in object classification performance compared to simpler classifiers. Patent, 2018. 4) The reflection-to-object association scheme can cope with several objects in the radar sensors FoV. safety-critical applications, such as automated driving, an indispensable Experiments on a real-world dataset demonstrate the ability to distinguish relevant objects from different viewpoints. This modulation offers a reduction of hardware requirements compared to a full chirp sequence modulation by using lower data rates and having a lower computational effort. This is important for automotive applications, where many objects are measured at once. These are used for the reflection-to-object association. [16] and [17] for a related modulation. First, the time signal is transformed by a 2D-Fast-Fourier transformation over the fast- and slow-time dimension, resulting in the k,l-spectra. with C being the number of classes, pc the number of correctly classified samples, and Nc the number of samples belonging to class c. Each track consists of several frames. 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. This paper introduces the first true imaging-radar dataset for a diverse urban driving environments, with resolution matching that of lidar, and shows an unsupervised pretraining algorithm for deep neural networks to detect moving vehicles in radar data with limited ground-truth labels. This type of input can be interpreted as point cloud data [28], therefore the design of this branch is inspired by [28]. Note that the red dot is not located exactly on the Pareto front. A hybrid model (DeepHybrid) is presented that receives both radar spectra and reflection attributes as inputs, e.g. There are approximately 45k, 7k, and 13k samples in the training, validation and test set, respectively. available in classification datasets. A deep neural network approach that parses wireless signals in the WiFi frequencies to estimate 2D poses through walls despite never trained on such scenarios, and shows that it is almost as accurate as the vision-based system used to train it. This manually-found NN achieves 84.6% mean validation accuracy and has almost 101k parameters. P.Cunningham and S.J.

Hence, the RCS information alone is not enough to accurately classify the object types. Deep learning (DL) has recently attracted increasing interest to improve object type classification for automotive radar. 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. Its architecture is presented in Fig. Then, the radar reflections are detected using an ordered statistics CFAR detector. Reliable object classification using automotive radar sensors has proved to be challenging. Therefore, we deploy a neural architecture search (NAS) algorithm to automatically find such a NN. 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. This robustness is achieved by a substantially larger wavelength compared to light-based sensors such as cameras or lidars. We identify deep learning challenges that are specific to radar classification and introduce a set of novel mechanisms that lead to significant improvements in object classification performance compared to simpler classifiers.

Deep learning Reliable object classification using automotive radar sensors has proved to be challenging. / Radar imaging The RCS input is processed by two convolutional layers with a 11, kernel, each followed by a rectified linear unit (ReLU) function. Fully connected (FC): number of neurons. For all considered experiments, the variance of the 10 confusion matrices is negligible, if not mentioned otherwise. However, a long integration time is needed to generate the occupancy grid. However, only 1 moving object in the radar sensors FoV is considered, and no angular information is used. that deep radar classifiers maintain high-confidences for ambiguous, difficult Our results demonstrate that Deep Learning methods can greatly augment the classification capabilities of automotive radar sensors. We substitute the manual design process by employing NAS. (b). The figure depicts 2 of the detected targets in the field-of-view - "Deep Learning-based Object Classification on Automotive Radar Spectra" It can be observed that using the RCS information in addition to the spectra helps DeepHybrid to better distinguish the classes. The goal is to extract the spectrums region of interest (ROI) that corresponds to the object to be classified. It can be observed that NAS found architectures with similar accuracy, but with an order of magnitude less parameters. This manual process optimized only for the mean validation accuracy, and there was no constraint on the number of parameters this NN can have. research-article . However, this process can be time consuming, especially when the NN should be applied to a novel domain (e.g.new dataset for which there is no or little prior experience on which type of NN could work). [Online]. Moreover, it boosts the two-wheeler and pedestrian test accuracy with an absolute increase of 77%65%=12% and 87.4%80.4%=7%, respectively. The spectrum branch model has a mean test accuracy of 84.2%, whereas DeepHybrid achieves 89.9%. To overcome this imbalance, the loss function is weighted during training with class weights that are inversely proportional to the class occurrence in the training set. We show that additionally using the RCS information as input significantly boosts the performance compared to using spectra only. 5 (b) shows the Pareto front of mean accuracy vs. number of MACs, where the architecture marked with the red dot is the same as in Fig. This is used as input to a neural network (NN) that classifies different types of stationary and moving objects. 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. range-azimuth information on the radar reflection level is used to extract a First, we manually design a CNN that receives only radar spectra as input (spectrum branch).
