Automatic Labelling & Semantic Segmentation with 4D Radar Tensors

Abstract

In this paper, an automatic labelling process is presented for automotive datasets, leveraging on complementary information from LiDAR and camera. The generated labels are then used as ground truth with the corresponding 4D radar data as inputs to a proposed semantic segmentation network, to associate a class label to each spatial voxel. Promising results are shown by applying both approaches to the publicly shared RaDelft dataset, with the proposed network achieving over 65% of the LiDAR detection performance, improving 13.2% in vehicle detection probability, and reducing 0.54 m in terms of Chamfer distance, compared to variants inspired from the literature.
