Deep Belief Networks 을 이용한 주행상태 예측

A comprehensive and well-structured review on the application of deep learning (DL) based algorithms, such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) and long-short term memory (LSTM), in radar signal processing is given. The following DL application areas are covered: i) radar waveform and antenna array design; ii) passive or low probability of interception (LPI) radar waveform recognition; iii) automatic target recognition (ATR) based on high range resolution profiles (HRRPs), Doppler signatures, and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images; and iv) radar jamming/clutter recognition and suppression. Although DL is unanimously praised as the ultimate solution to many bottleneck problems in most of existing works on similar topics, both the positive and the negative sides of stories about DL are checked in this work. Specifically, two limiting factors of the real-life performance of deep neural networks (DNNs), limited training samples and adversarial examples, are thoroughly examined. By investigating the relationship between the DL-based algorithms proposed in various papers and linking them together to form a full picture, this work serves as a valuable source for researchers who are seeking potential research opportunities in this promising research field.

Deep-Learning for Radar: A Survey

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image formation can be treated as a class of ill-posed linear inverse problems, and the resolution is limited by the data bandwidth for traditional imaging techniques via matched filter (MF). The sparse SAR imaging technology using compressed sensing (CS) has been developed for enhanced performance, such as superresolution, feature enhancement, etc. More recently, sparse SAR imaging from machine learning (ML), including deep learning (DL), has been further studied, showing great potential in the imaging area. However, there are still gaps between the two groups of methods for sparse SAR imaging, and their connections have not been established.

Sparse Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging From Compressed Sensing and Machine Learning: Theories, applications, and trends

Human activity monitoring is essential for a variety of applications in many fields, particularly healthcare. The goal of this research work is to develop a system that can effectively detect fall/collapse and classify other discrete daily living activities such as sitting, standing, walking, drinking, and bending. For this paper, a publicly accessible dataset is employed, which is captured at various geographical locations using a 5.8 GHz Frequency-Modulated Continuous-Wave (FMCW) RADAR. A total of ninety-nine participants, including young and elderly individuals, took part in the experimental campaign. During data acquisition, each aforementioned activity was recorded for 5–10 s. Through the obtained data, we generated the micro-doppler signatures using short-time Fourier transform by exploiting MATLAB tools. Subsequently, the micro-doppler signatures are validated, trained, and tested using a state-of-the-art deep learning algorithm called Residual Neural Network or ResNet. The ResNet classifier is developed in Python, which is utilised to classify six distinct human activities in this study. Furthermore, the metrics used to analyse the trained model’s performance are precision, recall, F1-score, classification accuracy, and confusion matrix. To test the resilience of the proposed method, two separate experiments are carried out. The trained ResNet models are put to the test by subject-independent scenarios and unseen data of the above-mentioned human activities at diverse geographical spaces. The experimental results showed that ResNet detected the falling and rest of the daily living human activities with decent accuracy.

Discrete human activity recognition and fall detection by combining FMCW RADAR data of heterogeneous environments for independent assistive living

Modern radar systems have high requirements in terms of accuracy, robustness and real-time capability when operating on increasingly complex electromagnetic environments. Traditional radar signal processing (RSP) methods have shown some limitations when meeting such requirements, particularly in matters of target classification. With the rapid development of machine learning (ML), especially deep learning, radar researchers have started integrating these new methods when solving RSP-related problems. This paper aims at helping researchers and practitioners to better understand the application of ML techniques to RSP-related problems by providing a comprehensive, structured and reasoned literature overview of ML-based RSP techniques. This work is amply introduced by providing general elements of ML-based RSP and by stating the motivations behind them. The main applications of ML-based RSP are then analysed and structured based on the application field. This paper then concludes with a series of open questions and proposed research directions, in order to indicate current gaps and potential future solutions and trends.
