用多阶段蒸馏让雷达点云超分辨率更准更快。

MSDNet: Efficient 4D Radar Super-Resolution via Multi-Stage Distillation

  • 分两阶段蒸馏:先重建对齐,再用轻量扩散网络去噪
  • 在VoD和自研数据集上实现高保真重建与低延迟推理
  • 适合需要高效高精度雷达感知的自动驾驶场景

4D雷达超分辨率旨在将稀疏嘈杂的点云重建为密集且几何一致的表示,是自主感知的基础问题。现有方法常因训练成本高或依赖复杂的基于扩散的采样,导致推理延迟大、泛化能力差,难以兼顾精度与效率。为此,我们提出MSDNet,一种多阶段蒸馏框架,通过高效传递密集LiDAR先验到4D雷达特征,实现高重建质量与计算效率。第一阶段进行重建引导的特征蒸馏,通过特征重建对齐并增密学生模型特征。第二阶段提出扩散引导的特征蒸馏,将第一阶段蒸馏出的特征视为教师表示的噪声版本,利用轻量扩散网络进行优化。此外,引入噪声适配器,自适应对齐特征噪声水平与预设扩散时间步,实现更精确去噪。在VoD和自研数据集上的大量实验表明,MSDNet在4D雷达点云超分辨率任务中实现了高保真重建与低延迟推理,并持续提升下游任务性能。代码将在发表后公开。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

4D radar super-resolution, which aims to reconstruct sparse and noisy point clouds into dense and geometrically consistent representations, is a foundational problem in autonomous perception. However, existing methods often suffer from high training cost or rely on complex diffusion-based sampling, resulting in high inference latency and poor generalization, making it difficult to balance accuracy and efficiency. To address these limitations, we propose MSDNet, a multi-stage distillation framework that efficiently transfers dense LiDAR priors to 4D radar features to achieve both high reconstruction quality and computational efficiency. The first stage performs reconstruction-guided feature distillation, aligning and densifying the student's features through feature reconstruction. In the second stage, we propose diffusion-guided feature distillation, which treats the stage-one distilled features as a noisy version of the teacher's representations and refines them via a lightweight diffusion network. Furthermore, we introduce a noise adapter that adaptively aligns the noise level of the feature with a predefined diffusion timestep, enabling a more precise denoising. Extensive experiments on the VoD and in-house datasets demonstrate that MSDNet achieves both high-fidelity reconstruction and low-latency inference in the task of 4D radar point cloud super-resolution, and consistently improves performance on downstream tasks. The code will be publicly available upon publication.
