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.

SARFusion introduces a scene-aware routing approach for camera‑LiDAR 3D object detection, decoupling object‑query decoding into separate camera, LiDAR, and fusion branches. By estimating a global scene reliability prior and incorporating object‑level evidence, each query is routed to the most suitable branch, reducing cross‑modal interference. The method achieves strong performance on the nuScenes test set (72.5 mAP, 74.4 NDS) and demonstrates robustness to sensor corruptions and environmental changes.
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.
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.
