The first multi-task 4D radar-camera fusion dataset on water surfaces, which offers data from multiple sensors, including a 4D radar, monocular camera, GPS, and IMU.
It can be applied in multiple tasks, such as object detection, instance segmentation, semantic segmentation, free-space segmentation, and waterline segmentation.

IEEE TITS

Shanliang Yao, Runwei Guan, Yong Yue, Xiaohui Zhu, Yutao Yue, etc.

We offer an up-to-date (2019-2024) overview of radar-based datasets and algorithms, providing in-depth research on their advantages and limitations.
We analyze the significant challenges and open questions related to these data representations, and propose potential research directions for further investigation.

IEEE TIV

Shanliang Yao, Runwei Guan, Yong Yue, Xiaohui Zhu, Yutao Yue, etc.

We present an up-to-date (2019–2023) overview of radar-camera fusion datasets and algorithms, and conduct in-depth research on “why to fuse”, “what to fuse”, “where to fuse”, “when to fuse”, and “how to fuse”.
We analyze the critical challenges and open questions in radar-camera fusion, and put forward potential research directions.
