Radar Point Density Beats Architecture in Classification

An experiment on RadarScenes found that radar point density, rather than model architecture, was the main bottleneck for a five-class radar-only object classifier. Increasing points per instance from one to five nearly doubled macro F1 from 0.381 to 0.764, while architecture and feature changes remained within the measured noise floor.
