Carotenuto, V. (author), Aubry, A. (author), De Maio, A. (author), Fioranelli, F. (author)The design of bespoke adaptive detection schemes relying on the joint use of multistatic/polarimetric measurements requires a preliminary statistical inference on the clutter interference environment. This is fundamental to develop an analytic model for the received signal samples, which is used to synthesize the radar detector. In this...conference paper 2023

Ding, Chuanwei (author), Zhang, Li (author), Chen, Haoyu (author), Hong, Hong (author), Zhu, Xiaohua (author), Fioranelli, F. (author)Radar-based solutions have attracted great attention in human activity recognition (HAR) for their advantages in accuracy, robustness, and privacy protection. The conventional approaches transform radar signals into feature maps and then directly process them as visual images. While effective, these image-based methods may not be the best...journal article 2023

Wang, Weizheng (author), Vaidya, G. (author), Bhattacharjee, A.K. (author), Fioranelli, F. (author), Zuniga, Marco (author)Sensing people with mmWave radars is gaining significant attention. This growing interest is due to two factors: radar monitoring provides more privacy than camera-based alternatives, and radio waves are not as easily blocked as light waves. Most mmWave studies, however, have three common characteristics. They are done indoors, without...conference paper 2023

Guendel, Ronny (author), Ullmann, I. (author), Fioranelli, F. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)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...conference paper 2023
