Internship
Job title
Classification of objects from RADAR data for automotive applications
Subject
The objective of the internship is to utilize RADAR data from public datasets (KRADAR, RADIAL) to develop classification techniques for identifying various road users (such as other vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians) as well as static obstacles (including road infrastructure and objects on the road). The intern will focus on innovatively processing RADAR data using an existing framework developed within the laboratory. The task includes extracting parts of the RADAR data (RADAR cubes) to perform classification exclusively on areas of interest. By extracting these cubelets, the aim is to reduce the size of the neural networks employed. The primary challenge of this internship will be to optimize the processing and extraction of RADAR information from these cubelets to achieve the highest possible accuracy.

Job description
The Technological Research Direction (DRT) of the CEA aims to develop innovative solutions and interact with industrial partners to valorize these innovative technologies. The LIIM laboratory (Intelligent Integrated Multi-Sensor) has expertise in environmental perception through its knowledge of various sensors (Camera, LIDAR, RADAR, Infrared) applied to different fields such as automotive, robotics, and drones. Within a multidisciplinary team of research engineers, your role will be to participate in the design of AI algorithms using RADAR data. The internship will focus on developing AI tools to improve the quality of classification algorithms on RADAR data. This work is intended to be presented to industrial partners and may be the subject of scientific publications.
In collaboration with the team's researchers, the main task will be to improve the existing AI algorithms within the laboratory. This work must take into account the specificities of RADAR data and improve the processing and extraction of cubelets. The intern must demonstrate critical thinking and will need to define and implement key metrics to determine the quality of the proposed solution. In a second phase, the work will consist of finding the best compromise between the size of the cubelet data, inference time, and the quality of the solution. Part of the work will involve presenting and highlighting the results of the internship, particularly by participating in the writing of scientific publications.
