Radar point clouds are significantly noisier compared to Lidar point clouds. Therefore, denoising is required initially to utilize the data effectively. To represent the raw data as a point cloud, relatively complex processing is necessary already at a low signal level. [31.05.2024 – Andras Palffy from PercivAI can also be noted that radar point clouds are also significantly sparser than Lidar point clouds. The difference between the number of (useful) points reported by a state-of-the-art radar and lidar can reach two orders of magnitude, i.e., the Lidar is 100x times denser. In the image, dotted lines represent lidar detections, big circles represent radar detections. Image source: Delft University of Technology
