Abstract: A gesture recognition system is shown using a 77 GHz FMCW radar system. The signature of a gesturing hand is measured to construct an energy distribution in velocity space over time. A gesturing hand is fundamentally a dynamical system with unobservable “state” (i.e. the type of the gesture) which determines the sequence of associated observable velocity-energy distributions, therefore a Hidden Markov Model is used to for gesture recognition. A method for reducing the length of the feature vectors by a factor of 12 is also shown, by re-parameterizing the feature vectors in terms of a sum of Gaussians without decreasing the recognition performance.

Abstract: A radar system comprises a set of transmitters and a processor coupled to the set of transmitters. The processor is configured to modulate a first portion of a chirp in a chirp frame according to a first phase. The processor is further configured to modulate a second portion of the chirp in the chirp frame according to a second phase and configured to combine the first and second portions of the chirp to produce a phase-modified chirp. The processor is further configured to instruct the set of transmitters to transmit the phase-modified chirp by applying time division multiple access (TDMA) and by directing radio frequency energy according to a target angle and a target gain.

Abstract: A device is provided. In some examples, the device includes a radar sensor configured to receive reflected chirps. In addition, the device includes processing circuitry configured to determine that a first object is moving. The processing circuitry is further configured to, responsive to determining that the first object is moving, determine a first location of the first object using a single frame of the reflected chirps. The processing circuitry is also configured to determine that a second object is stationary. In addition, the processing circuitry is configured to, responsive to determining that the second object is stationary, determine a second location of the second object using a plurality of frames of the reflected chirps.

Abstract: In the proposed low complexity technique a hierarchical approach is created. An initial FFT based detection and range estimation gives a coarse range estimate of a group of objects within the Rayleigh limit or with varying sizes resulting from widely varying reflection strengths. For each group of detected peaks, demodulate the input to near DC, filter out other peaks (or other object groups) and decimate the signal to reduce the data size. Then perform super-resolution methods on this limited data size. The resulting distance estimations provide distance relative to the coarse estimation from the FFT processing.

Abstract: In accordance with described examples, a method determines if a velocity of an object detected by a radar is greater than a maximum velocity by receiving on a plurality of receivers at least one frame of chirps transmitted by at least two transmitters and reflected off of the object. A velocity induced phase shift (φd) in a virtual array vector S of signals received by each receiver corresponding to a sequence of chirps (frame) transmitted by each transmitter is estimated. Phases of each element of virtual array vector S are corrected using φd to generate a corrected virtual array vector Sc. A first Fourier transform is performed on the corrected virtual array vector Sc to generate a corrected virtual array spectrum to detect a signature that indicates that the object has an absolute velocity greater than a maximum velocity.

Abstract: A set of radar data is organized as a two dimensional (2D) array with multiple lines of data. A 2D cross point analysis is performed on each set of data to detect objects in range of the radar system. A set of candidate objects is identified by performing an initial one dimensional (1D) analysis on a line of data along a first axis of the set if data to determine a candidate location of each candidate object along the first axis; however, the set of candidate objects may include false objects. The set of candidate objects is pruned by performing a cross 1D analysis of the data along a second axis of the set of data at a position corresponding to each candidate location along the first axis to select a set of most likely candidate objects from the set of candidate objects.

Abstract: An FMCW radar is used to detect live objects by processing the matched, filtered radar return on a frame by frame basis. An FFT cross correlation coefficient is computed, followed by computing a modified geometric mean of the absolute value of the cross correlation coefficients. The modified geometric mean is then compared to a preset threshold to determine whether the object is moving or is stationary.

Abstract: A matrix compression/decompression accelerator (MCA) system/method that coordinates lossless data compression (LDC) and lossless data decompression (LDD) transfers between an external data memory (EDM) and a local data memory (LDM) is disclosed. The system implements LDC using a 2D-to-1D transformation of 2D uncompressed data blocks (2DU) within LDM to generate 1D uncompressed data blocks (1DU). The 1DU is then compressed to generate a 1D compressed superblock (CSB) in LDM. This LDM CSB may then be written to EDM with a reduced number of EDM bus cycles. The system implements LDD using decompression of CSB data retrieved from EDM to generate a 1D decompressed data block (1DD) in LDM. A 1D-to-2D transformation is then applied to the LDM 1DD to generate a 2D decompressed data block (2DD) in LDM. This 2DD may then be operated on by a matrix compute engine (MCE) using a variety of function operators.
