Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Fire-induced indoor environments, characterized by smoke, glare, and dimness, critically challenge rescue safety. While LiDAR and cameras suffer from signal attenuation, millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar exhibits robust imaging performance. Radar-based building mapping and object detection in indoor environments are thus required to facilitate situational awareness specified by firefighting standards. Prior radar datasets mostly focus on outdoor object detection and the few existing indoor datasets remain insufficient in several aspects: (1) lacking adverse scenario analysis; (2) lacking raw analog-to-digital converter (ADC) data for dense point cloud generation; and (3) lacking 3D object annotations for building layout understanding. This work introduces the Indoor FireRescue Radar (IFR) dataset, a novel large-scale multimodal benchmark for indoor situational awareness. It includes 27K frames of 4D radar point cloud, co-calibrated with LiDAR, RGB camera, and IMU streams, alongside 3D objects annotations across 10 buildings. This dataset also provides raw ADC data and sensor configuration metadata. We applied voxel-based and pillar-based object detectors to 4D radar-based indoor object detection. We also demonstrated the robustness of radar perception in fire-induced indoor environments by real smoke tests at a firefighter training facility.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
