Abstract(in English) Identifying objects is in great demand for avoiding road accidents. Radar-based method is superior to camera-based one in terms of lighting and weather resistance. In the conventional method, the time-domain mean and variance of features of radar information is extracted. On the other hand, deep-learning-based method that uses received radar information for inputting is proposed. However, this method only classifies static road objects. In this report, we propose a time-series-based on-road object identification using LSTM (Long Short Term Memory). We extract features from a received radar information, and then time-series of successive features are used as the inputs for LSTM. In the experiments, we evaluated the classification performance of objects between the proposed method and conventional one. The measured objects consider road crossing or rushing out in a practical urban environment. As a result, it is shown that our method outperforms the conventional one by a 0.98 True Positive Rate. Additionally, we evaluated the computational time and compared the result of the proposed method with those of conventional one.
