A Dataset of Human Motion Status Using IR-UWB Through-wall Radar

Abstract: Ultra-wideband (UWB) through-wall radar has a wide range of applications in non-contact human information detection and monitoring. With the integration of machine learning technology, its potential prospects include the physiological monitoring of patients in the hospital environment and the daily monitoring at home. Although many target detection methods of UWB through-wall radar based on machine learning have been proposed, there is a lack of an opensource dataset to evaluate the performance of the algorithm. This published dataset was measured by impulse radio UWB (IR-UWB) through-wall radar system. Three test subjects were measured in different environments and several defined motion statuses. Using the presented dataset, we propose a human-motion-status recognition method using a convolutional neural network (CNN), the detailed dataset partition method and recognition process flow is given. On the well-trained network, the recognition accuracy of testing data for three kinds of motion statuses is higher than 99.7%. The dataset presented in this paper considers a simple environment. Therefore, we call on all organizations in the UWB radar field to cooperate to build opensource datasets to further promote the development of UWB through-wall radar.
