Abstract
This paper proposes a novel time-frequency feature fusion method to recognise patients’ behaviours based on the Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar system, which can locate patients as well as recognise their current actions and thus is expected to solve the shortage of medical staff caused by the novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19). To recognise the patient’s behaviour, the FMCW radar is utilised to acquire point clouds reflected by the human body, and the micro-Doppler spectrogram is generated by human motion. Then features are extracted and fused from the time-domain information of point clouds and the frequency-domain information of the micro-Doppler spectrogram respectively. According to the fused features, the patient’s behaviour is recognised by a Bayesian optimisation random forest algorithm, where the role of Bayesian optimisation is to select the best hyper-parameters for the random forest, i.e. the number of random forest decision trees, the depth of leaves, and the number of features. The experimental results show that an average accuracy of 99.3% can be achieved by using the time-frequency fusion with the Bayesian optimisation random forest model to recognise six actions.
