Detecting and Identifying Two Stationary-Human-Targets: A Technique Based on Bioradar

摘要

Bioradar is a novel kind of radar combining the technology of radar and biomedical engineering. It can detect vital signals (such as breath, heartbeat, movement, etc.) in a certain distance through the nonmetal substances (such as brick walls, rubble, etc.) without using electrodes or sensors. However, multi-stationary-human-target identifying and locating has not been resolved yet. Based on the Ultra Wide-band (UWB) bioradar, we developed a method combining biomedical signal processing and space-frequency analysis to distinguish two stationary human subjects in different distances and to identify the location of each human subject. Experiments were done to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method. In 86 data sets the accuracy of distinguishing two stationary subjects reached 73%. This method may serve as a basis for further studies in developing appropriate 2-Dimension locating image reconstruction models via multi-antenna (static) UWB radar.
