基于相机辅助特征增强的雷达目标检测网络

    Target Detection Network Enhanced By Camera-assisted Feature Enhancement

    • 摘要: 车载毫米波雷达有全天候工作的优点,但由于缺乏语义信息,难以从雷达回波信号识别目标类别。针对以上问题,文中设计了一种基于相机辅助的特征增强目标检测网络(F-TDNet)。首先针对复杂环境下目标特征较弱,提出一种卷积归一池化(CBR)特征增强模块和模型的特征提取能力。其次,采用卷积自编码器保证雷达语义信息获取的全面性。然后,在卷积自编码器中添加参数量和计算量较小的压缩和激励网络(SE)注意力机制,提高特征提取的细化能力。实验结果表明,在环境光照不稳定以及目标速度不定条件下平均精度达到了92.50%,召回率为95.86%,与其他方法相比,该方法和改进网络具有优异的检测效果。文中所提方法减小了自动驾驶系统对相机的依赖性,同时具备全天候检测的特点,且性能稳定,有助于提高辅助驾驶系统的安全性。

       

      Abstract: Vehicle-mounted millimeter wave radar possesses the advantage of all-weather operation; however, due to the scarcity of semantic information, it is arduous to identify the Target category from the radar echo signal. To address the aforementioned issues, a feature-enhanced target detection network(F-TDNet) based on camera assistance is devised. Firstly, a feature enhancement module, namely Conv3d BatchNorm ReLU(CBR), was proposed to enhance the feature extraction capability of the model. Secondly, convolutional autoencoder is employed to guarantee the comprehensiveness of radar semantic information acquisition. Subsequently, an squeeze-and-excitation networks(SE) attention mechanism featuring fewer parameters and less computation is added to enhance the refinement ability of feature extraction. The experimental results indicate that the average accuracy attains 92.50% and the recall rate amounts to 95.86% under the circumstances of unstable ambient light and variable target speed. In comparison with other approaches, the proposed method and the improved network exhibit an outstanding detection effect. The method proposed in this paper reduces the reliance of the automatic driving system on the camera and possesses the characteristics of all-weather detection and stable performance, which is conducive to enhancing the safety of the auxiliary driving system.
