In this paper, we propose a method of identifying human motions, such as standing, walking, running, and crawling, using a millimeter wave radar sensor. In our method, two signal processing is performed in parallel to identify the human motions. First, the moment at which a person’s motion changes is determined based on the statistical characteristics of the radar signal. Second, a deep learning-based classification algorithm is applied to determine what actions a person is taking. In each of the two signal processing, radar spectrograms containing the characteristics of the distance change over time are used as input. Finally, we evaluate the performance of the proposed method with radar sensor data acquired in an indoor environment. The proposed method can find the moment when the motion changes with an error rate of 3%, and also can classify the action that a person is taking with more than 95% accuracy.

In this study, we propose a method to identify the type of target and simultaneously determine its moving direction in a millimeter-wave radar system. First, using a frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar sensor with the center frequency of 62 GHz, radar sensor data for a pedestrian, a cyclist, and a car are obtained in the test field. Then, a You Only Look Once (YOLO)-based network is trained with the sensor data to perform simultaneous target classification and moving direction estimation. To generate input data suitable for the deep learning-based classifier, a method of converting the radar detection result into an image form is also proposed. With the proposed method, we can identify the type of each target and its direction of movement with an accuracy of over 95%. Moreover, the pre-trained classifier shows an identification accuracy of 85% even for newly acquired data that have not been used for training.

Radar signal processing mainly focuses on target detection, classification, estimation, filtering, and so on. Compressed sensing radar (CSR) technology can potentially provide additional tools to simultaneously reduce computational complexity and effectively solve inference problems. CSR allows direct compressive signal processing without the need to reconstruct the signal. This study aimed to solve the problem of CSR detection without signal recovery by optimizing the transmit waveform. Therefore, a waveform optimization method was introduced to improve the output signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) in the case where the target signal is corrupted by colored interference and noise having known statistical characteristics. Two different target models are discussed: deterministic and random. In the case of a deterministic target, the optimum transmit waveform is derived by maximizing the SINR and a suboptimum solution is also presented. In the case of random target, an iterative waveform optimization method is proposed to maximize the output SINR. This approach ensures that SINR performance is improved in each iteration step. The performance of these methods is illustrated by computer simulation.
