DeeperRadar: End-to-End MIMO Radar Design and Multi-Modal Fusion for Autonomous Vehicle Perception

Eli Goldenshluger, Barak Pinkovich, Chaim Baskin

DeeperRadar is a radar-centric, sensor-stack-conditioned framework that co-designs radar sensing and multi-modal 3D detection for autonomous mobility by learning a sparse acquisition pattern end-to-end with the fusion model. A learnable MIMO design module is trained end-to-end within a fusion network that operates directly on raw radar ADC data together with camera images and LiDAR point clouds. During training, the design module is supervised by the other sensors, enabling the system to learn both which receiver antennas to activate and the effective number of them. At deployment, the design module is removed and replaced by the learned sparse subsampling mask, leaving the downstream model architecture unchanged. Evaluated on the RADIal dataset, DeeperRadar discovers sparse, task-aware radar configurations that match or exceed full-array baselines while using fewer receivers, potentially reducing radar cost and integration complexity. These results show that learned optimal MIMO radar design depends on the fusion stack and the downstream perception task.
