Angle-insensitive Human Motion and Posture Recognition Based on 2D FMCW MIMO Radar and Deep Learning Classifiers

Nowadays, the aging problem is shaking the root of the healthcare system in many countries, an automatic human activity recognition (HAR) is seen as a promising solution to that problem. In particular, radar-based HAR attracts people’s attention thanks to its respect for privacy and functionality in poor lighting conditions. With a lot of...

Complex-Valued Neural Networks for Radar-based Human-Motion Classification

Nowadays, radar has been applied to human activity classification in the aging-in-place for health monitoring. The complex-valued neural networks (CVNNs) have been only minimally explored, especially on complex-valued radar signals, and there is an outstanding question on whether CVNNs can contribute to improving classification performance. This...

Nowcasting heavy precipitation in the Netherlands: a deep learning approach

Accurate short-term forecasts, also known as nowcasts, of heavy precipitation are desirable for creating early warning systems for extreme weather and its consequences, e.g. urban flooding. In this research, we explore the use of machine learning for short-term prediction of heavy summer rainfall showers in the Netherlands. We explore the use of...
