Abstract

Visual tracking is a scheme to locate people’s position in space. However, there are privacy concerns that raw video may cause leakage of personal information. Many people do not accept cameras deployed in their homes or workspaces. Recently, millimeter-wave (mmWave) gait recognition has been recognized as an alternative solution, which has the advantages of low power consumption and user privacy protection. However, performance analysis particularly under multi-person application scenarios in different environments remains to be explored. In this work, we collect and evaluate over the mmWave sensing point cloud dataset from mmWave FMCW radars. Our study reveals the change of point cloud as people population and their distance varies .
