HyperDet: 3D Object Detection with Hyper 4D Radar Point Clouds

arXiv:2602.11554v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: How far can 3D object detection go using 4D radar alone? Despite offering weather-robust and velocity- aware sensing for autonomous perception, modern 4D radar still yields sparse, noisy, and unstable point clouds, limiting radar-only 3D detection. We present HyperDet, a detector- agnostic input enhancement pipeline that constructs task- aware hyper 4D radar point clouds by combining measured observations with completed foreground geometry. HyperDet first refines short-window surround-view radar observations through spatio-temporal accumulation and cross-sensor val- idation, while Doppler-guided motion compensation reduces dynamic object trails when motion can be estimated reliably. It then performs foreground generative enhancement using LiDAR-guided pseudo-radar supervision available only during training, enriching object geometry while preserving measured radar background and radar-native attributes. During detec- tor training, radar-aware object-level augmentation maintains Doppler consistency under geometric relocation. At inference, HyperDet requires radar input alone and can be directly paired with standard 3D detectors. Experiments on two public surround-view 4D radar datasets demonstrate consistent im- provements over matched temporal accumulation across stan- dard 3D detectors, validating input-level radar enhancement as an effective approach to radar-only 3D detection.
