LiRaFusion: Deep Adaptive LiDAR-Radar Fusion for 3D Object Detection

18 Feb 2024  ·  Jingyu Song, Lingjun Zhao, Katherine A. Skinner ·

We propose LiRaFusion to tackle LiDAR-radar fusion for 3D object detection to fill the performance gap of existing LiDAR-radar detectors. To improve the feature extraction capabilities from these two modalities, we design an early fusion module for joint voxel feature encoding, and a middle fusion module to adaptively fuse feature maps via a gated network. We perform extensive evaluation on nuScenes to demonstrate that LiRaFusion leverages the complementary information of LiDAR and radar effectively and achieves notable improvement over existing methods.
