  • Patent number: 10871468
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to non-contact inspection of material for identifying and estimate composition of a material under inspection. Traditionally, material inspection is an invasive process involving contact based approaches. A radar-based approach requires placement of the radar at a specific location, which is a challenge since amplitude of the reflected signal, depends on the distance from the material under inspection. The present disclosure addresses this technical problem by providing a Continuous Wave radar-based approach that is based on absolute slope at extrema points on the reflected signal from the material under inspection.

  • Publication number: 20200310549
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to radar based human activity detection, and, more particularly to, systems and methods from radar based human activity detection and three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of human gestures using configurable panel radar system. Traditional systems and methods may not provide for a separate capturing of top and bottom parts of the human body. Embodiment of the present disclosure overcome the limitations faced by the traditional systems and methods by identifying a user that performed a gesture; detecting each gesture performed by the identified user; generating, by simulating a set of gesture labels, a sensor data and the generated metadata, a two-dimensional (2D) reference database of different speeds of the detected gestures; computing a displacement and a time of the detected gestures via a pattern matching technique; and reconstructing a video of the identified user performing the detected gestures in 3D.

  • Publication number: 20200113445
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to methods and systems for real time unobtrusive monitoring of physiological signals of a subject confined to a bed. Output of single channel continuous wave (CW) radars are dependent upon distance of the subject from the radar. Dual channel IQ radars are more accurate but are costly and availability in the market is a constraint. The present disclosure provides a cheap and easily replicable pseudo IQ radar based system. The pseudo IQ radar comprises two CW radars placed at a calibrated distance from each other such that optimum points of one CW radar spatially overlaps null points of the other CW radar and phase imbalance is suppressed. Three such pseudo IQ radars are positioned in a predetermined configuration around the subject being monitored. A Supervised Complex Signal Demodulation (SCSD) method configured to suppress amplitude and DC imbalance is also provided for evaluating the physiological signals.
