Radar Guided Dynamic Visual Attention for Resource-Efficient RGB Object Detection. (arXiv:2206.01772v1 [cs.CV])

An autonomous system's perception engine must provide an accurate
understanding of the environment for it to make decisions. Deep learning based
object detection networks experience degradation in the performance and
robustness for small and far away objects due to a reduction in object's
feature map as we move to higher layers of the network. In this work, we
propose a novel radar-guided spatial attention for RGB images to improve the
perception quality of autonomous vehicles operating in a dynamic environment. …
