Abstract
Human micro-Doppler radar signatures have been investigated to classify different types of activities and to identify potential armed personnel in the context of security and surveillance applications. In this paper the use of multistatic micro-Doppler signatures to distinguish between unarmed and armed personnel moving is described. The effect of polarimetry on the classification accuracy is evaluated. Real radar data from a multistatic radar (NetRAD) has been analyzed as part of this work. Suitable features are extracted from the spectrograms generated from the data and then used as input to a classifier. The impact of polarization diversity on the classification performance is investigated, in particular the use of co-polarized or cross-polarized data or their multistatic combination.
