Spiking CA-CFAR Implementation for Radar Target Detection

Radar systems have been used for decades to detect targets on the ground and in the air. The radar signal is transformed into a range-doppler image that distinguishes each detected object by range and velocity for further processing. A target detection algorithm is used to filter noise and clutter. Each target can be in a region with a different...

A Spiking Neural Network classification architecture for spatial-temporal data processing

A big catalyst of the AI revolution has been Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), abstract computation models based on the biological neural networks in the brain. However, they require an immense amount of computational resources and power to configure and when deployed often are dependent on cloud resources to function. This makes ANNs less...

Design Space Exploration of a Spiking LSM Classifier for RADAR applications

Recent trends in platforms for the consumer market increased the need for low-power and reliable classification engines. Spiking Neural Network (SNN) is a new technology that promises to deliver 4 orders of magnitude more performance per watt than competing solutions. Moreover, the adoption of RADAR for gesture detection provides higher...
