Abstract
The ability to robustly and effectively detect and classify road objects is vital to an all-purpose traffic monitoring system. Recent development in mmWave radar technologies offers improved range and resolution at an affordable price, making it an ideal candidate for Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) applications. Modern mmWave radars output 3D detection point clouds representing moving objects. The Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) algorithm is a popular method for clustering radar point clouds. However, our study found that several variations of DBSCAN perform less than expected in a road and intersection scene. To address this, we propose an Enhanced Multiple DBSCAN algorithm tailored specifically for traffic monitoring applications, which aims to improve detection performance using radar point cloud data. By using adaptive parameters, the Enhanced Multiple DBSCAN algorithm addresses the problem of reducing cluster size over distance. Additionally, a modified Non-Maximum Suppression (NMS) variation is included to address missed detections when merging results from multiple DBSCANs. Our Enhanced Multiple DBSCAN achieves over 90% precision in detecting road objects, the best result among all tested methods. The algorithms proposed and evaluated in this study provide a valuable reference for modern radar ITS applications.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
