3D Object Reconstruction with mmWave Radars
Abstract
This paper presents RFconstruct, a framework that enables 3D shape reconstruction using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) mmWave radars for self-driving scenarios. RFconstruct overcomes radar limitations of low angular resolution, specularity, and sparsity in radar point clouds through a holistic system design that addresses hardware, data processing, and machine learning challenges. The first step is fusing data captured by two radar devices that image orthogonal planes, then performing odometry-aware temporal fusion to generate denser 3D point clouds. RFconstruct then reconstructs 3D shapes of objects using a customized encoder-decoder model that does not require prior knowledge of the object's bound box. The shape reconstruction performance of RFconstruct is compared against 3D models extracted from a depth camera equipped with a LiDAR. We show that RFconstruct can accurately generate 3D shapes of cars, bikes, and pedestrians.
