Point Cloud

A radar point is evidence of a strong reflection at a certain range, velocity, and angle. It is not a pixel. It is a compact representation extracted from the radar cube.

point_cloud.py outputs:

Field	Meaning
range_m	range in meters
velocity_mps	radial velocity
angle_deg	estimated angle
power_db	reflection strength
doppler_bin	Doppler bin
angle_bin	angle bin
range_bin	range bin

Point clouds are useful because leaving is a temporal process. One frame shows a moment; a sequence shows motion. That is why the model workflow feeds point-cloud sequences into CNN + BiLSTM.
