UWB Radar: Vision through a wall
نویسندگان
چکیده
There exist a lot of methods for vision through an opaque medium. At present UWB (Ultra-Wideband) technology is used more and more because it is suitable for localization and detection of a human body behind a wall. First of all this paper describes known methods for vision through walls, which can be divided into two general groups imaging and non-imaging systems. Secondly it describes the state of the art UWB radar for this application and its specifics. Finally it depicts our UWB radar system (centre frequency 4,7GHz) and our practical procedures relevant to the detection of a human body presented behind a concrete wall.

متن کاملThrough-wall detection of human being with compressed UWB radar data
The technology for through-wall human detection with ultra-wideband (UWB) radar was discussed. Due to the large amount of UWB radar data, compressive sensing theory was introduced and compressed UWB radar data can be collected. The singular value decomposition algorithm was used to acquire the singular values of compressed radar data. The compressed UWB radar data were collected at two statuses...

This paper considers the ability of counting and positioning multi-targets by using a mobile UWB radar device. After a background subtraction process, distinguishing between clutters and human body signals, the position of targets will be computed using weighted Gaussian mixture methods. While computer vision offers many advantages, it has limited performance in poor visibility conditions (e.g....
متن کاملUWB Impulse Radar for Through-The-Wall Imaging
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) is the promising technology for localization of the objects behind the walls. Recent terrorist activities and law-enforcement situations underscore the need for effective through-wall detection. UWB radar signals has extremely large frequency spectrum and since low frequencies has more penetration capabilities through dielectric materials it is best suitable for Through-the...
