Abstract

4D radar complements dense image semantics with long-range geometry and radial motion, but existing radar--camera detectors largely solve where to align the modalities while leaving whether a piece of evidence supports an evolving object hypothesis implicit. An image token may describe an occluder, a nearby radar return may belong to another object, and a pose-aligned memory slot may carry incompatible motion.

We formulate hypothesis-conditioned evidence grounding, which separates candidate access from evidence use: semantic, geometric, or temporal evidence is filtered or conditioned by the evolving 3D state before updating the corresponding query. \sgdetpp{} instantiates this principle through Anchor-Grounded Semantic Retrieval (AGR), which conditions deformable image retrieval on pooled anchor-consistent radar support; Geometry-Consistent Anchor Refinement (GCR), which attentively aggregates individual associated returns; and Doppler-Verified Correspondence (DVC), which replaces history only when current radial motion contradicts it.

\sgdetpp{} improves the strongest compared method by 3.82 mAP and 6.82 ODS on OmniHD-Scenes and by 6.82 mAP and 9.22 NDS on ManTruckScenes, while also leading the listed methods in the TJ4DRadSet test comparison. Mechanism-targeted evaluations show that AGR improves strict AP in every projected-occlusion bin, the yaw-aligned box gate raises target-return purity from 29.95% to 58.87%, and DVC preserves 96.11% of motion-consistent history while retaining 75.90% contradiction recall.

Code will be released.
