Distributed radar fusion and recurrent networks for classification of continuous human activities

Continuous Human Activity Recognition (HAR) in arbitrary directions is investigated in this paper using a network of five spatially distributed pulsed Ultra-Wideband radars. While activities performed continuously and in unconstrained trajectories provide a more realistic and natural scenario for HAR, the network of radar sensors is proposed...

SOMNUS: An Ultra-Wideband Radar-Based Approach for Neonatal Sleep State Classification

Recently, there has been an increasing awareness of the critical role of sleep for the brain development of young infants. During the early neonatal stages of human development, the basic activity of the brain is to develop itself during sleep. Prolonged sleep is required in infants for further development of the nervous system. Sleep also plays...

Trapped-Victim Detection in Post-Disaster Scenarios using Ultra-Wideband Radar

Rescue dogs are commonly used during the urban search-and-rescue (USAR) operations for the initial indication on the presence of trapped victims after the collapse of man-made structures. However, dogs are not able to inform the rescue crews whether the trapped victims are alive or not and where exactly they are located. Other complementary...
