Here we propose a novel concept for radar-based classification, which utilizes the power of modern Deep Learning methods to learn favorable data representations and thereby replaces large parts of the traditional radar signal processing chain. To improve the classification accuracy, we use a hybrid approach and input both radar reflection attributes, e.g.the radar cross-section (RCS), and radar spectra into the NN. Therefore, the NN marked with the red dot is not optimal w.r.t.the number of MACs. After that, we attach to the automatically-found CNN a sequence of layers that process reflection-level input information (reflection branch), obtaining thus the hybrid model we propose. in the radar sensor's FoV is considered, and no angular information is used.

Scene understanding for automated driving requires accurate detection and classification of objects and other traffic participants. Future investigations will be extended by considering more complex real world datasets and including other reflection attributes in the NNs input. The focus of this article is to learn deep radar spectra classifiers which offer robust real-time uncertainty estimates using label smoothing during training. The reflection branch gets a (30,1) input that contains the radar cross-section (RCS) values corresponding to the reflections associated to the object to be classified. To record the measurements, an automotive prototype radar sensor with carrier frequency fc=$76.5GHz$, bandwidth B=$850MHz$, and a coherent processing interval Tmeas=$16ms$ is deployed. This shows that there is a tradeoff among the 3 optimization objectives of NAS, i.e.mean accuracy, number of parameters, and number of MACs. Hence, the RCS information alone is not enough to accurately classify the object types. Deploying the NAS algorithm yields a NN with similar accuracy, but with 7 times less parameters, depicted within the found by NAS box in (c). The NN receives a spectral input of shape (32,32,1), with the numbers corresponding to the bins in k dimension, in l dimension, and to the number of input channels, respectively.
