This book aims to capture recent advances and breakthroughs in in-home radar monitoring of human motions and activities. It addresses three key attributes of radar for in-door human monitoring, namely: motion classification including fall, detection of vital signs, and categorization of human gait for risk assessment and progression of physical impairments and disabilities. It explores recent developments in radar technology for human monitoring inside homes and residences. The reader will learn enhanced detection and classification techniques of radar signals associated with human micro- and macro-motions. Furthermore, the book includes examples using real data collected from healthy individuals, patients, and retirement communities based on the subject Doppler and range information, and using different single and multi-antenna radar system configurations. Results are also presented using modeled data based on biomechanics and kinematics. Indoor monitoring is further demonstrated using alternative technologies of infrared sensors and RF signals of opportunities.

Reviews for Radar for Indoor Monitoring: Detection, Classification, and Assessment

The topic of monitoring of humans in an indoor environment has universal appeal and applicability throughout the world. Thus, there is a need for such a book to educate professionals throughout the world in designing optimum radar systems for monitoring their movements, detecting falls, monitoring their vital signs, as well as their gait and other characteristics associated with their movements. There is no competing book in the market at this time, so this will be the first to address this very important and timely topic. -Ram M. Narayanan, Pennsylvania State University, USA
