Abstract

Detection, localization, and tracking of people in 2D or 3D space using Ultra-wideband (UWB) short-range sensors is a subject of worldwide intensive research. In this paper, we describe a proposal for a novel software called UWB-PerLoc-2D3D. This software has been created in a MATLAB programming environment and designed to process UWB radar signals for the purpose of movement monitoring of human targets in 2D and 3D space. We present an evaluation of the proposed software properties as well as examples of its utilization in practice.

Highlights

  • When dealing with emergencies where human lives may be endangered, a range of practical applications for people localization using Ultra-wideband (UWB) short-range radars can be employed

  • The area of processing of signals measured by the UWB sensor is a subject of continuous and intensive research [2]

  • The purpose of the UWB-PerLoc-2D3D software in the MATLAB programming environment is to ensure effective setting of parameters of individual methods of radar signal processing procedure for moving person detection, localization, and tracking and subsequently, process signals measured by UWB sensors with the intention to localize moving people in 2D or 3D space [6], [7]

Summary

INTRODUCTION

When dealing with emergencies where human lives may be endangered, a range of practical applications for people localization using Ultra-wideband (UWB) short-range radars can be employed. At the Department of Electronics and Multimedia Telecommunications (KEMT) of the Technical University in Koice (TUKE), ongoing research in the field of UWB sensor systems is performed as well [3] One part of it is focused on the development of new signal processing methods applied for people detection, localization, and tracking with UWB sensors. As part of the diploma thesis [4], a new software called UWB-PerLoc-2D3D was created in the MATLAB programming environment It is designed for the offline processing of measured UWB radar signals with the aim to localize moving people in 2D and 3D space. After evaluation of the proposed software properties, we conclude the paper with examples of its practical usage
