3-D Ego-Motion Estimation Using Multi-Channel FMCW Radar

The problem of estimating the 3D ego-motion velocity using multi-channel FMCW radar sensors has been studied. For the first time, the problem of ego-motion estimation is treated using radar raw signals. A robust algorithm using multi-channel FMCW radar sensors to instantly determine the complete 3D motion state of the ego-vehicle (i.e.,...

Sparsity-based Human Activity Recognition with PointNet using a Portable FMCW Radar

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...

Radar-only Instantaneous Ego-motion Estimation Using Neural Networks

The problem of 2D instantaneous ego-motion estimation for vehicles equipped with automotive radars is studied. To leverage multi-dimensional radar point clouds and exploit point features automatically, without human engineering, a novel approach is proposed that transforms ego-motion estimation into a weighted least squares (wLSQ) problem using...

Benchmarking classification algorithms for radar-based human activity recognition.

Linked to the increasing availability of datasets for radar-based human activity recognition (HAR), in this Student Highlights contribution, we report on a classification project that a group of 23 graduate students performed at TU Delft. The students were asked to work in groups of 2-3 members and to use the publicly available University of...

Continuous Human Activity Recognition With Distributed Radar Sensor Networks and CNN–RNN Architectures

Unconstrained human activities recognition with a radar network is considered. A hybrid classifier combining both convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) for spatial–temporal pattern extraction is proposed. The 2-D CNNs (2D-CNNs) are first applied to the radar data to perform spatial feature extraction on the...

Multiple Target Tracking and Human Activity Recognition based on The IR-UWB Radar Sensor Networks

Performing joint tracking and classification is the ultimate goal for many radar-based applications. For example, in indoor monitoring scenario, it is important to know the target's position as well as the related activities performed by that target. However, the literature often treats the joint problem independently due to its complexity. As a...

Geodetic SAR Tomography

In this paper, we propose a framework referred to as 'geodetic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) tomography' that fuses the SAR imaging geodesy and tomographic SAR inversion (TomoSAR) approaches to obtain absolute 3-D positions of a large amount of natural scatterers. The methodology is applied on four very high resolution TerraSAR-X spotlight...
