Discrimination of Stationary from Moving Targets with Recurrent Neural Networks in Automotive Radar

In this paper, we present a neural network based classification algorithm for the discrimination of moving from stationary targets in the sight of an automotive radar sensor. Compared to existing algorithms, the proposed algorithm can take into account multiple local radar targets instead of performing classification inference on each target individually resulting in superior discrimination accuracy, especially suitable for non rigid objects, like pedestrians, which in general have a wide velocity spread when multiple targets are detected.
