Our approach works on both stationary and moving objects, which usually occur in automotive scenarios. Reliable object classification using automotive radar sensors has proved to be challenging. 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. The confusion matrices of DeepHybrid introduced in III-B and the spectrum branch model presented in III-A2 are shown in Fig. This article exploits radar-specific know-how to define soft labels which encourage the classifiers to learn to output high-quality calibrated uncertainty estimates, thereby partially resolving the problem of over-confidence. We showed that DeepHybrid outperforms the model that uses spectra only.

Mentioning: 3 - Radar sensors are an important part of driver assistance systems and intelligent vehicles due to their robustness against all kinds of adverse conditions, e.g., fog, snow, rain, or even direct sunlight. Compared to radar reflections, using the radar spectra can be beneficial, as no information is lost in the processing steps. Such a model has 900 parameters. DL methods have been very successful in other domains, e.g.vision or audio, an occupancy grid based on radar reflections is computed, on which a convolutional neural network (CNN) is applied. The focus of this article is to learn deep radar spectra classifiers which offer robust real-time uncertainty estimates using label smoothing during training. In addition to high accuracy, it is crucial for decision making in autonomous vehicles to evaluate the reliability of the predictions; however, decisions of DL networks are non-transparent. In this article, we exploit Radar Reflections, Improving Uncertainty of Deep Learning-based Object Classification on 2015 16th International Radar Symposium (IRS). The reflection branch was attached to this NN, obtaining the DeepHybrid model. We also evaluate DeepHybrid against a classifier implementing the k-nearest neighbors (kNN) vote, , in order to establish a baseline with respect to machine learning methods. 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. Each experiment is run 10 times using the same training and test set, but with different initializations for the NNs parameters. The range-azimuth spectra are used by a CNN to classify different kinds of stationary targets in. 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. 1. The range r and Doppler velocity v are not determined separately, but rather by a function of r and v obtained in two dimensions, denoted by k,l=f(r,v). This letter presents a novel radar based, single-frame, multi-class detection method for moving road users (pedestrian, cyclist, car), which utilizes low-level radar cube data and demonstrates that the method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods both target- and object-wise. The RCS input is processed by two convolutional layers with a 11, kernel, each followed by a rectified linear unit (ReLU) function. D.P. Kingma and J.Ba, Adam: A method for stochastic optimization, 2017. Automated vehicles need to detect and classify objects and traffic participants accurately.

NAS allows optimizing the architecture of a network in addition to the regular parameters, i.e.it aims to find a good architecture automatically. Experiments on a real-world dataset demonstrate the ability to distinguish relevant objects from different viewpoints. Deep learning (DL) has recently attracted increasing interest to improve object type classification for automotive radar.In addition to high accuracy, it is crucial for decision making in autonomous vehicles to evaluate the reliability of the predictions; however, decisions of DL networks are non-transparent. Moreover, the automatically-found NN has a larger stride in the first Conv layer and does not contain max-pooling layers, i.e.the input is downsampled only once in the network.

The reflection branch gets a (30,1) input that contains the radar cross-section (RCS) values corresponding to the reflections associated to the object to be classified. 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. To improve the classification accuracy, we use a hybrid approach and input both radar reflection attributes, e.g.the radar cross-section (RCS), and radar spectra into the NN. We find that deep radar classifiers maintain high-confidences for ambiguous, difficult samples, e.g. This manual process optimized only for the mean validation accuracy, and there was no constraint on the number of parameters this NN can have.
