Radar Human Gait Signal Analysis Using Short Time Fourier Transform
Abstract
Human gait detection and identification by using radar signal is one of the recent subject of increased research area in signal processing. It has been indicated human gait information/signal is highly unusual which can be used for human detection and identification from one person to another. Most previous works related to this area extraction of features from the pace of pedestrians is only depending on the motions rhythm signal analysis and synthesis. Then Fourier transform and more recently time-frequency transforms are used to analyze the time shift/delay and identify the different parts of the human body playing part during the human movement. The analysis of the time/frequency shift usually needs to observe the process by taking a bit long time, at least long enough to get the gait signal cycle. However, the presence of several people simultaneously in the radar field of sight could involve interferences. Hence, in this paper we have been trying to use one of a powerful tool short time Fourier transform for the analysis of time-varying signals among the time frequency methods to extract some feature of human gait.
