Abstract

Perception systems for autonomous vehicles are reliant on a comprehensive sensor suite to identify objects in the environment. While object recognition systems in the LiDAR and camera modalities are reaching maturity, recognition models on sparse radar point measurements have remained an open research challenge. An object recognition model is here presented which imposes a graph structure on the radar point-cloud by connecting spatially proximal points and extracts local patterns by performing convolutional operations across the graph’s edges. The model’s performance is evaluated by the nuScenes benchmark and is the first radar object recognition model evaluated on the dataset. The results show that end-to-end deep learning solutions for object recognition in the radar domain are viable but currently not competitive with solutions based on LiDAR data.
