A MIMO Radar-based Few-Shot Learning Approach for Human-ID
share
Radar for deep learning-based human identification has become a research area of increasing interest. It has been shown that micro-Doppler (-D) can reflect the walking behavior through capturing the periodic limbs' micro-motions. One of the main aspects is maximizing the number of included classes while considering the real-time and training dataset size constraints. In this paper, a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) radar is used to formulate micro-motion spectrograms of the elevation angular velocity (-ω). The effectiveness of concatenating this newly-formulated spectrogram with the commonly used -D is investigated. To accommodate for non-constrained real walking motion, an adaptive cycle segmentation framework is utilized and a metric learning network is trained on half gait cycles (≈ 0.5 s). Studies on the effects of various numbers of classes (5–20), different dataset sizes, and varying observation time windows 1–2 s are conducted. A non-constrained walking dataset of 22 subjects is collected with different aspect angles with respect to the radar. The proposed few-shot learning (FSL) approach achieves a classification error of 11.3
