The paper introduces the Physics-Aware Radar Transformer (PART), a radar-only detector that predicts moving-object existence, surface points, and ground-plane velocity using Doppler-aware query initialization and physics-guided cross-attention. PART achieves high class-agnostic performance on the nuScenes dataset, excelling in rare categories and adverse conditions such as night, rain, and occlusion. The model is lightweight, with only 1.1 million parameters, and its code and pretrained weights will be released publicly.

3D object detection is the backbone of perception for automated vehicles (AV) and broader intelligent transportation systems applications. Long-range detection is challenging because sensing evidence is sparse; yet this ``long-range'' scenario is routine in traffic.

RLG-TPV introduces a multimodal Tri-Perspective View framework that fuses camera, radar, and training‑time LiDAR data for 3D object detection. It uses radar and LiDAR to guide a ray‑deformable attention lift, refining depth distributions and providing geometric supervision for side and front planes, while radar cross‑section awareness spreads evidence spatially. On nuScenes, the method attains 0.4981 mAP and 0.5959 NDS, improving orientation and velocity accuracy by about 32 % and 31 % over the CRN baseline.
SGDet3D++ introduces a geometry‑grounded approach to 4D radar‑camera 3D object detection by explicitly conditioning evidence on evolving object hypotheses. It employs Anchor‑Grounded Semantic Retrieval, Geometry‑Consistent Anchor Refinement, and Doppler‑Verified Correspondence to filter and align semantic, geometric, and temporal cues before updating queries. The method achieves significant performance gains on OmniHD‑Scenes, ManTruckScenes, and TJ4DRadSet, with detailed ablations showing improvements in occlusion handling, target‑return purity, and motion consistency.
The paper introduces RGBTR‑Motion, a new benchmark that synchronizes RGB, thermal, and radar data with dense moving‑instance masks and consistent identities for surveillance scenes. It also presents SAM‑Radar, a segmentation and tracking framework that fuses calibrated RGBT features with radar returns, using radar‑aware detection and motion supervision to reject clutter and maintain identity continuity during low visibility or occlusion. SAM‑Radar achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance, improving IoU, F1‑50, MOTA, HOTA, and IDF1 metrics over existing methods.
The review surveys 4D millimeter‑wave radar perception algorithms for autonomous driving, covering signal processing, object detection, semantic segmentation, motion estimation, occupancy prediction, and dynamic scene reconstruction. It organizes the field by perception tasks, discusses radar fundamentals, data representations, and quality‑enhancement methods, and compares radar‑only learning, multimodal fusion, and cross‑modal supervision. The paper also summarizes datasets, annotations, evaluation protocols, and outlines common challenges and future research directions.
