Attention-based deep learning networks for identification of human gait using radar micro-Doppler spectrograms

摘要

Identification of human individuals within a group of 39 persons using micro-Doppler (mu-D) features has been investigated. Deep convolutional neural networks with two different training procedures have been used to perform classification. Visualization of the inner network layers revealed the sections of the input image most relevant when determining the class label of the target. A convolutional block attention module is added to provide a weighted feature vector in the channel and feature dimension, highlighting the relevant mu-D feature-filled areas in the image and improving classification performance.
