Non-Line-of-Sight 3D Reconstruction with Radar
Haowen Lai, Zitong Lan, Mingmin Zhao
Abstract
Seeing hidden structures and objects around corners is critical for robots operating in complex, cluttered environments. Existing methods, however, are limited to detecting and tracking hidden objects rather than reconstructing the occluded full scene. We present HoloRadar, a practical system that reconstructs both line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) 3D scenes using a single mmWave radar. HoloRadar uses a two-stage pipeline: the first stage generates high-resolution multi-return range images that capture both LOS and NLOS reflections, and the second stage reconstructs the physical scene by mapping mirrored observations to their true locations using a physics-guided architecture that models ray interactions. We deploy HoloRadar on a mobile robot and evaluate it across diverse real-world environments. Our evaluation results demonstrate accurate and robust reconstruction in both LOS and NLOS regions. Code, dataset and demo videos are available on the project website.
