Automatic Human Activity Classification Using Radar

Abstract

Developing automatic target classification algorithms using radar is a widely researched topic in recent years. Among the targets classified in these algorithms, the most studied is humans. Classification of humans with high accuracy is very significant for many military and civil applications. Moreover, in these studies, besides the classification of human target, activities are also analyzed. Knowledge of the activity a person is engaged in can substantially change the alarm level in some applications. In this paper, an algorithm that automatically classifies walking, running, crawling, and creeping using radar is presented.
