People Tracking and Counting Reference Design Using mmWave Radar Sensor

1 января 2018

This reference design demonstrates the use of IWR1642, which is asingle-chip mmWave radar sensor with integrated DSP for an indoor and outdoor people counting application. This reference design uses the IWR1642BOOST evaluation module (EVM) and integrates a complete radar processing chain onto the IWR1642 device. This solution can detect up to 250 objects, and point and track up to 20 people with a field of view (FOV) of ±60º in the azimuth (horizontal) plane.

Особенности

Demonstration hardware and software using IWR1642 mmWave radar sensor for people counting mmWave technology provides range, velocity, and angle information ideal for environmental effects All detection and signal processing handled onboard the IWR1642; point cloud and object information streamed to PC for visualization Azimuth field of view (FOV)of 120º across distance of 6 m (distance can be modified or extended with different chirp configurations) Examples of implementation of static clutter and group tracking algorithms
