Abstract
In recent years, hand gesture recognition has increasingly become important in the field of human-computer interaction. This paper proposes a two-dimension parameter based hand gesture recognition method using frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar. Specifically, we analyze the time domain of the radar signal and estimate the radial distance and angle parameters of hand gestures, and then construct the parameter dataset. The dataset is fed into an improved convolutional neural network to extract features. Finally, the extracted features are fused and then classified by the full connection layer. Experimental results show that the recognition accuracy of the proposed approach is significantly higher than that of the single-parameter ones.
