Detecting darting out pedestrians with occlusion aware sensor fusion of radar and stereo camera

Early and accurate detection of crossing pedestrians is crucial in automated driving in order to perform timely emergency manoeuvres. However, this is a difficult task in urban scenarios where pedestrians are often occluded (not visible) behind objects, e.g., other parked vehicles. We propose an occlusion aware fusion of stereo camera and...

Multi-class Road User Detection with 3+1D Radar in the View-of-Delft Dataset

Next-generation automotive radars provide elevation data in addition to range-, azimuth- and Doppler velocity. In this experimental study, we apply a state-of-the-art object detector (PointPillars), previously used for LiDAR 3D data, to such 3+1D radar data (where 1D refers to Doppler). In ablation studies, we first explore the benefits of...
