Convergence of Scattering Parameters and HαA-Features of Road Surfaces

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....

Classification of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) Carrying Payloads with Polarimetric Radar

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...

Deep Learning-based identification of human gait by radar micro-Doppler measurements

For the first time identification of human individuals using micro-Doppler (m-D) features measured at X-band has been demonstrated. Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs) have been used to perform classification. Inspection and visualization of the classification results were performed using Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection ...

Derivative Target Line (DTL) for Continuous Human Activity Detection and Recognition

In this paper, we investigate the classification of Activities of Daily Living (ADL) by using a pulsed ultra-wideband radar. Specifically, we focus on contiguous activities that can be inseparable in time and share a common transition, such as walking and falling. The range-time data domain is deliberately exploited to determine transitions from...
