In this paper, we tackle the task of multi-target tracking of humans in an indoor setting using a low power 77 GHz MIMO CMOS radar. A drawback of such a highresolution and low-power device is the higher sensitivity to noise, which makes the analysis of signals more challenging. Therefore, a pipeline is proposed to address both pre-processing of the radar signal and multi-target tracking. In the pre-processing phase, we focus on handling the low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and eliminating so-called ghost targets. The tracking method we propose is based on Markov Chain Monte Carlo Data Association (MCMCDA), thus taking a combinatorial approach towards the task of tracking. The pipeline is tested on a number of real-world scenarios and shows promising results, overcoming the significant amount of noise associated with embedded radar devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
