Radar-based Human Activity Recognition(HAR) is considered by using snapshots of point clouds. Such point cloudsinterpret 2D images generated by an mm-wave FMCW MIMO radar enriched byincluding Doppler and temporal information. We use the similarity between suchradar data representation and the core of the self-attention concept inartificial...

Efficient prediction of embedded element patterns (EEPs) is including the mutual coupling (MC) effects in the optimization of irregular planar arrays is studied for the first time in the literature. An ANN-based methodology is used to predict the pattern of each element in the whole visible space for a flexible planar array topology in...

A new method to jointly detect and classify drones using a moving surveillance radar system (‘radar on-the-move’) and computer vision is presented. While most conventional counter-drone radar-based techniques focus on time-frequency distributions to obtain classification features, such approaches are limited in volumetric spatial coverage. To...

The problem of single-snapshot direction of arrival (DoA) estimation with antenna arrays has been considered. A sectorized approach based on Bayesian Compressive Sensing (BCS) has been proposed. In this method, the angular space is discretized, defining many non-overlapping small grids which cover the desired large angular space. First, a BCS...

This paper investigates the possibility of transmitting waveforms designed to enable spectral coexistence between radar and other Radio Frequency (RF) wireless systems via a Software Defined Radar (SDR). The design technique tested in this study nominally enables the placement of notches in the spectrum of the synthesized probing radar signal...

Driven by its contactless sensing capabilities and the lack of optical images being recorded, radar technology has been recently investigated in the context of human healthcare. This includes a broad range of applications, such as human activity classification, fall detection, gait and mobility analysis, and monitoring of vital signs such as...

Radar-based human activity recognition in crowded environments using regression approaches is addressed. Whereas previous research has focused on single activities and subjects, the problem of continuous activity recognition involving up to five individuals moving in arbitrary directions in an indoor area is introduced. To treat the problem, a...

The problem of 2D instantaneous ego-motion estimation for vehicles equipped with automotive radars is studied. To leverage multi-dimensional radar point clouds and exploit point features automatically, without human engineering, a novel approach is proposed that transforms ego-motion estimation into a weighted least squares (wLSQ) problem using...

Due to numerous benefits, radar is considered as an important sensor for human activity classification. The problem of classifying continuous sequences of activities of unconstrained duration has been studied in this work. To tackle this challenge, a radar data processing method utilizing point transformer networks has been proposed. The method...

The convergence of polarimetric scattering parameters and H, α and A features of road surfaces under various conditions is analysed. It is shown that the number of radar measurements used for surface classification can be traded off with accuracy of the estimation of the mean value and covariance of S-parameters and H, α and A features....

The ambiguity problem in forward-looking Doppler beam sharpening is considered. Doppler beam sharpening (DBS) has shown its potential to improve cross-range resolution for automotive radar applications. However, it suffers from ambiguities when targets are positioned symmetrically with respect to the vehicle trajectory. A new approach named ...

A method for extracting fully polarimetric statistical properties of road surface radar cross sections is presented. This method is subsequently applied to extract radar cross section information from an asphalt road surface. Furthermore, an approach is introduced to synthesise the scattered signal of road surface returns as measured by a radar....

Recognition of continuous human activities is investigated in unconstrained movement directions using multiple spatially distributed radar nodes, where activities can occur at unfavourable aspect angles or occluded perspectives when using a single node. Furthermore, such networks are favourable not only for the aforementioned aim, but also for...

The ability of a fully polarimetric radar to discriminate between payloads carried by UAVs is demonstrated. A novel approach has been employed in the feature extraction algorithm, where features from individual and combined polarimetric channels are extracted for classification. Decision and ensemble fusions on the respective extracted features...

This research aims to develop a contactless, radar-based sleep apnea detection method. A novel identification approach for this is proposed, based on the envelope of UWB radar spectrograms and machine learning. The envelope of the spectrogram is extracted by an image-based method, followed by signal smoothing via variational mode decomposition ...

The feasibility of classifying human activities measured by a distributed ultra-wideband (UWB) radar system using Range-Doppler (RD) images as the input to classifiers is investigated. Kinematic characteristics of different human activities are expected to be captured in high-resolution range-Doppler images measured by UWB radars. To construct...

A method to compute road surface signatures in the automotive scenario is presented. This method is subsequently applied to a rough asphalt surface without undulations. It is shown that, due to the observation geometry, the road surface signature experiences significant spreading along the Doppler-axis, resulting in a distinct range-Doppler map...

Human activities classification in assisted living is one of the emerging applications of radar. The conventional analysis considers micro-Doppler signatures as the chosen input for feature extraction or deep learning classification algorithms, or, less frequently, other radar data formats such as the range-time, the range-Doppler, or the...

Cognitive radar frameworks rely on the ability to quantify and reason on future uncertainty, which allows for the selection of an optimal decision policy. These methods require that the uncertainty estimates provided by the underlying statistical model are well-calibrated, i.e. consistent with true uncertainty. In this work, the utilization of...

Continuous Human Activity Recognition (HAR) in arbitrary directions is investigated using 5 spatially distributed pulsed Ultra-Wideband (UWB) radars. Such activities performed in arbitrary and unconstrained trajectories render a more natural occurrence of Activities of Daily Living (ADL) to be recognized.
