RESUMO
Breathing is one of the body's most basic functions and abnormal breathing can indicate underlying cardiopulmonary problems. Monitoring respiratory abnormalities can help with early detection and reduce the risk of cardiopulmonary diseases. In this study, a 77 GHz frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) millimetre-wave (mmWave) radar was used to detect different types of respiratory signals from the human body in a non-contact manner for respiratory monitoring (RM). To solve the problem of noise interference in the daily environment on the recognition of different breathing patterns, the system utilised breathing signals captured by the millimetre-wave radar. Firstly, we filtered out most of the static noise using a signal superposition method and designed an elliptical filter to obtain a more accurate image of the breathing waveforms between 0.1 Hz and 0.5 Hz. Secondly, combined with the histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) feature extraction algorithm, K-nearest neighbours (KNN), convolutional neural network (CNN), and HOG support vector machine (G-SVM) were used to classify four breathing modes, namely, normal breathing, slow and deep breathing, quick breathing, and meningitic breathing. The overall accuracy reached up to 94.75%. Therefore, this study effectively supports daily medical monitoring.

As a form of body language, the gesture plays an important role in smart homes, game interactions, and sign language communication, etc. The gesture recognition methods have been carried out extensively. The existing methods have inherent limitations regarding user experience, visual environment, and recognition granularity. Millimeter wave radar provides an effective method for the problems lie ahead gesture recognition because of the advantage of considerable bandwidth and high precision perception. Interfering factors and the complexity of the model raise an enormous challenge to the practical application of gesture recognition methods as the millimeter wave radar is applied to complex scenes. Based on multi-feature fusion, a gesture recognition method for complex scenes is proposed in this work. We collected data in variety places to improve sample reliability, filtered clutters to improve the signal's signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and then obtained multi features involves range-time map (RTM), Doppler-time map (DTM) and angle-time map (ATM) and fused them to enhance the richness and expression ability of the features. A lightweight neural network model multi-CNN-LSTM is designed to gestures recognition. This model consists of three convolutional neural network (CNN) for three obtained features and one long short-term memory (LSTM) for temporal features. We analyzed the performance and complexity of the model and verified the effectiveness of feature extraction. Numerous experiments have shown that this method has generalization ability, adaptability, and high robustness in complex scenarios. The recognition accuracy of 14 experimental gestures reached 97.28%.
RESUMO
Significant strides have been made in the field of WiFi-based human activity recognition, yet recent wireless sensing methodologies still grapple with the reliance on copious amounts of data. When assessed in unfamiliar domains, the majority of models experience a decline in accuracy. To address this challenge, this study introduces Wi-CHAR, a novel few-shot learning-based cross-domain activity recognition system. Wi-CHAR is meticulously designed to tackle both the intricacies of specific sensing environments and pertinent data-related issues. Initially, Wi-CHAR employs a dynamic selection methodology for sensing devices, tailored to mitigate the diminished sensing capabilities observed in specific regions within a multi-WiFi sensor device ecosystem, thereby augmenting the fidelity of sensing data. Subsequent refinement involves the utilization of the MF-DBSCAN clustering algorithm iteratively, enabling the rectification of anomalies and enhancing the quality of subsequent behavior recognition processes. Furthermore, the Re-PN module is consistently engaged, dynamically adjusting feature prototype weights to facilitate cross-domain activity sensing in scenarios with limited sample data, effectively distinguishing between accurate and noisy data samples, thus streamlining the identification of new users and environments. The experimental results show that the average accuracy is more than 93% (five-shot) in various scenarios. Even in cases where the target domain has fewer data samples, better cross-domain results can be achieved. Notably, evaluation on publicly available datasets, WiAR and Widar 3.0, corroborates Wi-CHAR's robust performance, boasting accuracy rates of 89.7% and 92.5%, respectively. In summary, Wi-CHAR delivers recognition outcomes on par with state-of-the-art methodologies, meticulously tailored to accommodate specific sensing environments and data constraints.
RESUMO
Gait recognition, crucial in biometrics and behavioral analytics, has applications in human-computer interaction, identity verification, and health monitoring. Traditional sensors face limitations in complex or poorly lit settings. RF-based approaches, particularly millimeter-wave technology, are gaining traction for their privacy, insensitivity to light conditions, and high resolution in wireless sensing applications. In this paper, we propose a gait recognition system called Multidimensional Point Cloud Gait Recognition (PGGait). The system uses commercial millimeter-wave radar to extract high-quality point clouds through a specially designed preprocessing pipeline. This is followed by spatial clustering algorithms to separate users and perform target tracking. Simultaneously, we enhance the original point cloud data by increasing velocity and signal-to-noise ratio, forming the input of multidimensional point clouds. Finally, the system inputs the point cloud data into a neural network to extract spatial and temporal features for user identification. We implemented the PGGait system using a commercially available 77 GHz millimeter-wave radar and conducted comprehensive testing to validate its performance. Experimental results demonstrate that PGGait achieves up to 96.75% accuracy in recognizing single-user radial paths and exceeds 94.30% recognition accuracy in the two-person case. This research provides an efficient and feasible solution for user gait recognition with various applications.
