Real-Time Capable Micro-Doppler Signature Decomposition of Walking Human Limbs
share
Unique micro-Doppler signature (μ-D) of a human body motion can be analyzed as the superposition of different body parts μ-D signatures. Extraction of human limbs μ-D signatures in real-time can be used to detect, classify and track human motion especially for safety application. In this paper, two methods are combined to simulate μ-D signatures of a walking human. Furthermore, a novel limbs μ-D signature time independent decomposition feasibility study is presented based on features as μ-D signatures and range profiles also known as micro-Range (μ-R). Walking human body parts can be divided into four classes (base, arms, legs, feet) and a decision tree classifier is used. Validation is done and the classifier is able to decompose μ-D signatures of limbs from a walking human signature on real-time basis.
