Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of radar data processing, and in particular relates to an end-to-end mid-air handwritten letter recognition method based on millimeter wave radar. Background Art

[0002] Against the backdrop of the rapid development of general-purpose computing, human-computer interaction (HCI) has become a highly sought-after research area. Human gestures, as a natural and intuitive form of interaction, have opened up new possibilities for HCI. In recent years, gesture recognition technologies based on vision and wearable sensors have made significant progress. However, these approaches have limitations in practical applications: optical camera sensors can raise privacy and security concerns, while wearable devices face challenges in portability and comfort, limiting their widespread adoption.

[0003] With the rise of radar technology in civilian applications, radar-based gesture recognition has become a promising research area. Early research focused on simple gesture classification tasks using single-antenna radar systems. However, since single-antenna radars can only measure distance and velocity and lack information about the angle of motion, they struggle to distinguish gesture changes in orientation. To address this issue, between 2019 and 2024, significant research shifted to millimeter-wave radars employing multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) architectures. These radars can provide three- or four-dimensional spatial information, enabling a more comprehensive description of complex spatial gestures.

[0004] In recent years, several studies have successfully applied MIMO radar to the task of airwriting, achieving accurate airwriting recognition through signal processing techniques and trajectory reconstruction algorithms. These studies demonstrate the significant potential of MIMO radar for complex motion recognition. These methods excel in specific scenarios, exhibit strong interpretability, and exhibit high computational efficiency. However, as the complexity of the task increases, traditional methods face numerous challenges:

[0005] 1) During the preprocessing stage, commonly used target detection algorithms such as fast Fourier transform and constant false alarm detection may inadvertently filter out some potentially valuable information;

[0006] 2) The design of signal preprocessing algorithms and the selection of radar signature image types often rely on empirical knowledge and may not be applicable to all mission scenarios;

[0007] 3) The integration of traditional algorithms with neural networks and their parallel computing still face certain difficulties, which to some extent limits the hardware deployment of end-to-end tasks;

[0008] Therefore, in recent years, researchers have begun to experiment with using specialized neural network models to extract features directly from raw radar data. The challenge lies in the fact that raw radar data is a multi-channel, high-dimensional, complex signal time series, where gesture features are contained in the signal's amplitude, phase, and time dependencies. Previous end-to-end radar gesture recognition research typically processed the real and imaginary parts of the complex signal separately, resulting in the loss of important phase information. Alternatively, when processing the complete raw signal, researchers faced slow network convergence and high computational resource consumption. Summary of the Invention

[0009] This paper proposes an innovative end-to-end method for airwritten handwritten letter recognition, which utilizes complete radar raw data for recognition. To address the challenges of network training and abstract feature extraction for high-dimensional radar data, a novel solution is introduced, namely, incorporating prior knowledge into the training process to reduce the complexity of the network's extraction of abstract features. Based on the idea of multimodal feature alignment, the semantic features of the two-dimensional trajectory sequence are used to guide the end-to-end network in extracting semantic features from the raw signal. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that this method accelerates the training convergence of the radar raw data feature extractor and improves its recognition accuracy in complex handwritten letter recognition tasks.
