Human Gaits Differentiation Based on Micro-Doppler Features

Article Preview

Abstract:

The radar micro-Doppler signatures of human gait have been investigated and applied to many practical use since late 1990s.Human body can be modeled as jointly connected rigid segments or links. And yet the model was confined to the walking gait. In order to apply the model to different circumstances, the paper modified the currently used human walking model into three different models. Firstly, the analysis of human crouch walking with arms was given. Then radar echo of the model was provided, whose correctness and effectiveness were proved through simulation. Secondly the other two gaits,running and crawling, were modeled in the same way. Finall the paper constructed scenes that two men walked in varied walking gaits, through simulation conclusion was drawn that if two people walked in cetain different gaits,those two different gaits can be distinguished.
