Authors Info & Claims
Published:30 March 2023Publication History

ABSTRACT

Frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar is widely studied in automotive, medicine, communication, and other fields due to its small size, high precision, and high bandwidth. In recent years, human behavior recognition has become increasingly popular in smart homes, health monitoring, entertainment, and other fields. FMCW radar, as a typical radar, has attracted more attention in the applications of human behavior recognition. This paper investigates the specific applications of human behavior recognition using FMCW radar and makes a detailed analysis from various aspects. Firstly, this paper introduces human behavior recognition based on FMCW radar. Secondly, this paper explains the general framework of behavior recognition based on FMCW radar, including data collection, signal processing, and behavior recognition methods. Then, according to the amplitude of behavioral activity, the application is divided into three granularities: signal-based, action-based, and activity-based recognition. Then this paper analyzes the application of behavior recognition from experimental scenarios, participants, classification methods, samples, experimental precision, etc. Finally, the various challenges of behavior recognition are presented by summarizing the existing literature.
