The paper presents a stereo 4D Radar framework for 3D object detection that uses geometric disparity between left and right radars to estimate absolute velocity and fuse complementary features. It addresses clutter, ghost reflections, and sparse data issues inherent in raw 4D Radar signals. Experiments on an in‑house dataset show significant gains, improving AP 3D by 8.82 points and AP BEV by 9.0 points over mono‑radar baselines.

The paper presents a stereo 4D Radar-based framework for 3D object detection that uses the geometric disparity between left and right radars to estimate absolute velocity and fuse complementary features. It addresses challenges such as clutter, ghost reflections, and sparse data caused by preprocessing, and improves motion state estimation beyond the radial Doppler component. Experiments on an in‑house stereo 4D Radar dataset show significant gains of 8.82 points in AP 3D and 9.0 points in AP BEV over mono‑radar baselines.
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.

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.
