Multipath Exploitation for Human Activity Recognition using a Radar Network

In this study, the problem of multipath in radar sensor networks for human activity recognition (HAR) has been examined. Traditionally considered as a source of additional clutter, the multipath is being investigated for its potential to be exploited through the creation of virtual radar nodes. These virtual nodes are conceptualized to...

A Survey on Radar-Based Continuous Human Activity Recognition

Radar-based human motion and activity recognition is currently a topic of great research interest, as the aging population increases and older individuals prefer an independent lifestyle. This technology has a wide range of applications, such as fall detection in assisted living, gesture recognition for human-machine interfaces, and many more....

Self-Supervised Learning for Enhancing Angular Resolution in Automotive MIMO Radars

A novel framework to enhance the angular resolution of automotive radars is proposed. An approach to enlarge the antenna aperture using artificial neural networks is developed using a self-supervised learning scheme. Data from a high angular resolution radar, i.e., a radar with a large antenna aperture, is used to train a deep neural network...

Grouped People Counting Using mm-wave FMCW MIMO Radar

The problem of radar-based counting of multiple individuals moving as a single group is addressed using an mm-wave multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar. This problem is challenging because the different individuals are closer to each other than the range/azimuth resolution, and their bulk...

Radar Sensing in Healthcare: Challenges and Achievements in Human Activity Classification & Vital Signs Monitoring

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...

Phase-Coded FMCW for Coherent MIMO Radar

The phase-coded linear-frequency-modulated continuous-wave (PC-FMCW) waveform with a low sampling processing strategy is studied for coherent multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar. The PC-FMCW MIMO structure, which jointly uses both fast-time and slow-time coding, is proposed to reduce sidelobe levels while preserving high range resolution...
