Abstract
The technologies described herein relate to a radar system that is configured to generate point clouds based upon radar tensors generated by the radar system. More specifically, the radar system is configured to generate heatmaps based upon radar tensors, wherein a neural network receives the radar tensors as input and constructs the heatmaps as output. Point clouds are generated based upon the heatmaps. A computing system detects objects in an environment of an autonomous vehicle (AV) based upon the point clouds, and the computing system further causes the AV to perform a driving maneuver based upon the detected objects.
