Abstract:

Numerous deep learning studies have achieved remarkable advances in WiFi-based human gesture recognition (HGR) using channel state information (CSI). However, since the CSI patterns of the same gesture change across domains (i.e., users, environments, locations, and orientations), recognition accuracy might degrade significantly when applying the trained model to new domains. To overcome this problem, we propose a WiFi-based cross-domain gesture recognition system (WiGr) which has a domain-transferable mapping to construct an embedding space where the representations of samples from the same class are clustered, and those from different classes are separated. The key insight of WiGr is using the similarity between the query sample representation and the class prototypes in the embedding space to perform the gesture classification, which can avoid the influence of the cross-domain CSI patterns change. Meanwhile, we present a dual-path prototypical network (Dual-Path PN) which consists of a deep feature extractor and a dual-path (i.e., Path-A and Path-B substructures) recognizer. The trained feature extractor can extract the gesture-related domain-independent features from CSI, namely, the domain-transferable mapping. In addition, WiGr implements the cross-domain HGR based on only a pair of WiFi devices without retraining in the new domain. We conduct comprehensive experiments on three data sets, one is built by ourselves and the others are public data sets. The evaluation suggests that WiGr achieves 86.8%–92.7% in-domain recognition accuracy and 83.5%–93% cross-domain accuracy under the four-shot condition.
