Real-Time Radar Semantic and Panoptic Scene Understanding

We introduce StreamRPS, a novel framework for streaming FMCW radar panoptic segmentation, comprising an automated label-generation pipeline via LiDAR scene completion and a real-time streaming network for semantic and panoptic segmentation.

Key points

  • Robust scene understanding under varying environmental conditions is essential for safe autonomous driving.
  • Our encoder-decoder streaming architecture comprises a radar-specific hierarchical Transformer encoder and task-specific decoders for semantic or panoptic prediction.
  • Our encoder introduces a stem to capture range-dependent signatures, anisotropic patch embeddings to preserve angular resolution, and axial polar attention to separately model the periodic azimuth and bounded range axes.
  • We further introduce azimuth roll rotation augmentation to simulate ego-vehicle rotation during training.
