Micro-Doppler based Human Activity Recognition using ABOA based Dual Spatial Convolution with Gated Recurrent Unit

Abstract

The through-wall capability, device-free detection of radar-based human activity recognition are drawing a lot of interest from both academics and industry. The majority of radar-based systems do not yet combine signal analysis and feature extraction in the frequency domain and the time domain. Applications like smart homes, assisted living, and monitoring rely on human identification and activity recognition (HIAR). Radar has a number of advantages over other sensing modalities, such as the ability to shield users' privacy and conduct contactless sensing. The article introduces a new human tracking system that uses radar and a classifier called Dual Spatial Convolution Gated Recurrent Unit (DSC-GRU) to identify the subject and their behavior. The system follows the person and identifies the type of motion whenever it detects movement. One important feature is the integration of the GRU with the DSC unit, which allows the model to simultaneously capture the spatiotemporal dependence. Present prediction models just take into account spatial features that are immediately adjacent to each other, disregarding or just superimposing global spatial features when taking spatial correlation into account. A new dependency graph is created by calculating the correlation among nodes using the correlation coefficient; this graph represents the global spatial dependence, while the classic static graph represents the neighboring spatial dependence in the DSC unit. The DSC unit goes a step further by using a modified gated mechanism to quantify the various contributions of both local and global spatial correlation. While previous models performed worse, the suggested model outperformed them with an accuracy of 99.45 percent and a precision of 97.15 percent.
