DyRAD introduces a novel radar novel‑view synthesis framework that models dynamic driving scenes by separating static background reflectors from motion‑tracked dynamic point reflectors, enabling the rendering of full range‑azimuth‑Doppler (RAD) tensors. The method derives reflector velocities from object tracks, projects them onto the line of sight, and uses a fixed analytic point‑spread function to avoid embedding sensor‑induced spread into the scene representation. This design allows accurate scene reconstruction and zero‑shot transfer to different radar configurations, achieving a 90.7% recovery of radar detections on the RADIal dataset compared to 26.9% for the best baseline.

Sparse and noisy millimeter-wave radar point cloud observations often correspond to multiple plausible human poses, making deterministic pose estimation fundamentally ill-posed. Yet existing radar methods remain deterministic, collapsing this ambiguity into a single estimate.
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.

GRADE is a method for estimating high‑fidelity metric depth from a single radar frame, even when visual sensors fail due to smoke, fog, or darkness. It first converts raw 4D radar spectra into coarse depth, then uses a latent diffusion model conditioned on this estimate to recover fine structural detail. A pixel‑space adapter incorporates any available camera cues and is trained across clear, smoke‑degraded, and occluded inputs, allowing the output to rely more on radar as visibility worsens. On a dataset of ~95K frames from 12 buildings with real smoke, GRADE achieves an MAE of 0.303 m in clear scenes and 0.313 m under smoke, outperforming existing baselines.
