Millimeter-Wave Radar-Based Multi-Human Tracking and Fall Detection System

Overview

This repository contains the implementation and code resources for our paper: Advanced Millimeter-Wave Radar System for Real-Time Multiple-Human Tracking and Fall Detection (link: https://doi.org/10.3390/s24113660). The study explores an indoor system that employs Millimeter-Wave radars to track multiple humans and detect falls in real time. By integrating signals from non-intrusive radars, our framework addresses challenges such as mobility inconvenience, lighting conditions, and privacy issues inherent in wearable or camera-based systems.

Key Features

• Multi-Human Tracking: Tracks multiple humans simultaneously with high precision.
• Real-Time Fall Detection: Accurately predicts and classifies human body statuses, including falls.
• Advanced Signal Processing: Employs Dynamic DBSCAN clustering and innovative feedback loops for enhanced accuracy.
• Privacy and Accessibility: Operates without cameras or wearables, ensuring non-intrusive monitoring. Camera module in the project is just for ground truth.

System Architecture

Components

• Radar Hardware: 3 Millimeter-Wave radars from Texas Instruments.
• Real-Time Framework: Integrates radar signals to track and classify human activity.

Workflow

Installation and Usage

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8 or higher
• Libraries: numpy, Send2Trash,scipy,pyserial,matplotlib,scikit-learn,opencv-python,google-api-python-client,google-auth-oauthlib,func-timeout,moviepy

Steps

1. Clone this repository: ```bash git clone https://github.com/DarkSZChao/MMWave_Radar_Human_Tracking_and_Fall_detection.git cd MMWave_Radar_Human_Tracking_and_Fall_detection

2. Install dependencies: ```bash pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Connect radars.

4. Check which port number the radars are using:

5. Config the parameters: bash cd cfg open config_demo.py, under RADAR_CFG_LIST parameter, update cfg_port_name and data_port_name for radars

6. Go back to root folder and start the system by runing main.py
