Abstract

This paper presents the analysis of human micro- Doppler signatures collected by a bistatic radar system to classify different indoor activities. Tools for automatic classification of different activities will enable the implementation and deployment of systems for monitoring life patterns of people and identifying fall events or anomalies which may be related to early signs of deteriorating physical health or cognitive capabilities. The preliminary results presented here show that the information within the micro-Doppler signatures can be successfully exploited for automatic classification, with accuracy up to 98%, and that the multi-perspective view on the target provided by bistatic data can contribute to enhance the overall system performance.
