arXiv:2609.18542v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: 4D radar has emerged as a promising next-generation sensor for improving the robustness of autonomous driving perception systems because of its stable sensing capability under adverse weather conditions. However, deploying 4D radar in embedded environments with limited hardware resources requires radar-representation preprocessing that jointly considers perception accuracy, real-time performance, and computational complexity. This paper proposes a preprocessing framework for 4D-radar-based 3D object detection. First, Percentile-based 3D Shape Preservation (P3DP) extracts point clouds from radar tensors while preserving object-shape information and suppressing noise and false alarms. Second, Multi-frame-based Noise Point Discrimination using Kernel Density Estimation (MF-KDE) improves the density and reliability of sparse radar point clouds. Finally, Embedded & NetScore (ENS) evaluates suitability for embedded deployment by jointly considering accuracy, real-time performance, adverse-weather robustness, and model complexity.
