[0145] The millimeter wave radar breathing monitoring method based on periodic constraints can adopt any of the above-mentioned millimeter wave radar breathing monitoring methods based on periodic constraints, and the specific implementation will not be repeated here.
[0146] In another embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, a millimeter wave radar breathing monitoring system based on periodic constraints includes:
[0147] The acquisition module 10 acquires the signal matrix collected by the millimeter wave radar breathing monitoring;
[0148] An optimization objective function building module 20 decomposes the signal matrix into a low-rank matrix and a sparse matrix, imposes Fourier spectrum constraints on the low-rank matrix, and establishes an optimization objective function;
[0149] The iterative optimization module 30 iteratively optimizes the objective function, introduces the periodic characteristics of the respiratory signal into the optimization process, obtains a low-rank matrix and a sparse matrix, and further obtains the respiratory signal.
[0150] Specifically, the workflow of the millimeter wave radar breathing monitoring system based on periodic constraints is described below by taking a preferred embodiment as an example:
[0151] In continuous pulse mode, millimeter wave radar detects the movement of the target by continuously transmitting and receiving a series of modulated continuous wave (CW) signals or frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) signals. The core idea is to identify the tiny displacements caused by human breathing by analyzing the phase or frequency changes of the return signal. FMCW radar transmits a linear frequency modulation signal during the detection process, and its frequency increases linearly with time. The frequency offset (i.e., Doppler shift) of the return signal is related to the distance and speed of the target and can be calculated by spectrum analysis. For respiratory monitoring, millimeter wave radar uses the phase changes of the reflected signal to sense tiny periodic movements of the human surface, such as the expansion and contraction of the chest cavity. This tiny movement causes a slight periodic change in the phase of the radar signal.
[0152] Millimeter wave radar The transmitted signal of a pulse is:
[0153] (1)
[0154] in is the amplitude of the transmitted signal, is the initial frequency, is the frequency modulation bandwidth, is the modulation period.
[0155] After being reflected by the human body surface, the echo pulse signal received by the radar can be expressed as:
[0156] (2)
[0157] in is the time delay of the radio signal reflected by the human body, and , is the radial distance between the radar system and the human body, The speed of light.
[0158] When the millimeter-wave radar system performs respiratory monitoring, the chest movement caused by breathing will cause the phase of the radar receiving signal to change. Phase change The relationship between the displacement of the human chest cavity is:
[0159] (3)
[0160] in is the displacement of the chest cavity over time, is the wavelength of the millimeter wave radar. Therefore, the radar receiving signal model of equation (2) will be expanded to:
[0161] (4)
[0162] make Indicates receiving signal The sampling length of the signal is , then the millimeter wave radar system receives a total of The received pulse sampling signals can form a sampling echo signal matrix
[0163] (5)
[0164] The present invention represents the signal matrix collected by the millimeter wave radar as two parts:
[0165] 1. Low-rank part: represents normal, periodic breathing signals.
[0166] 2. Sparse part: Indicates abnormal breathing behavior (such as apnea). These sudden events usually appear as sparse and irregular signals.
[0167] The above model can effectively separate normal behavior from abnormal behavior in the signal and detect apnea events more accurately. Specifically, the sampled echo signal matrix can be decomposed into the following model:
[0168] (6)
[0169] in is a low-rank matrix, representing a normal breathing signal. is a sparse matrix representing sudden apnea events. is the noise matrix, representing the modeled measurement errors and environmental noise.
[0170] In order to more accurately model the periodic characteristics of the respiratory signal, we use the low-rank matrix Fourier spectrum constraints are imposed on the normal breathing signal, so that the normal breathing signal is closer to the known breathing frequency characteristics in the frequency domain. The improved optimization problem is:
[0171] (7)
[0172] in It is the kernel function of the matrix, that is, the sum of the singular values of the matrix, indicating the low rank of the matrix. It is a matrix norm, indicating the sparse nature of the matrix. is the Frobenius norm of the matrix, representing the energy of the noise. and is a constraint parameter. Represents a low-rank matrix The Fourier transform of . It is a predefined reference spectrum of the respiratory frequency, which is used to describe the periodic characteristics of normal respiratory signals.
[0173] The present invention obtains a reference spectrum The process can be summarized into the following steps:
[0174] Step 1: Data collection: Use millimeter wave radar to collect long-term respiratory signals of multiple healthy individuals in a quiet state. These signal data should include normal respiratory characteristics of different individuals under different conditions.
[0175] Step 2: Signal preprocessing: filter the collected respiratory signal to remove high-frequency noise and other interfering signals, and retain the main components related to the respiratory frequency.
[0176] Step 3: Fourier transform, perform Fourier transform on the preprocessed signal to convert the time domain signal into a frequency domain signal. In this way, the main frequency components of the respiratory signal in the frequency domain can be clearly observed.
[0177] Step 4: Statistical modeling, statistically analyze the respiratory signal spectra of all individuals, and calculate the mean, standard deviation and frequency distribution range of the respiratory frequency. Generally, the respiratory frequency range of healthy adults at rest is 0.1 to 0.5 Hz (i.e. 6 to 30 breaths / minute). By summarizing these spectrum data, a more universal normal respiratory reference spectrum can be obtained.
[0178] Step 5: Construct a reference spectrum model. Model the spectrum characteristics of the normal breathing signal obtained by statistics. Gaussian distribution or other suitable probability distributions can be used to describe the concentrated area of the breathing frequency, and a reference spectrum model is generated as a reference in the Fourier constraint.
[0179] The present invention adopts the following steps to solve the joint optimization problem shown in formula (7):
[0180] Step 1: Introduce auxiliary variables , rewrite the optimization problem as:
[0181] (8)
[0182] Step 2: Construct the Lagrangian function
[0183] (9)
[0184] in , , is the Lagrange multiplier, is the penalty factor.
[0185] Step 3: Update
[0186] (10)
[0187] This update can be done by solving a linear equation, and combining periodic constraints helps to make More closely matches normal breathing signal patterns.
[0188] Step 4: Update
[0189] (11)
[0190] This step can be solved by the Singular Value Thresholding (SVT) algorithm to ensure that the matrix The low-rank property of .
[0191] Step 5: Update
[0192] (12)
[0193] This step uses Fourier transform to introduce periodic signal information into the optimization process so that It is consistent with the periodic characteristics of the respiratory signal and can be efficiently solved by fast Fourier transform (FFT) and inverse Fourier transform (IFFT).
[0194] Step 6: Update
[0195] (13)
[0196] This step can be solved by the soft thresholding algorithm to ensure that the matrix The sparsity of .
[0197] Step 7: Update
[0198] (14)
[0199] This step is used for denoising to ensure that the model is robust to environmental noise.
[0200] Step 8: Update the Lagrange multipliers
[0201] (15)
[0202] Step 9: When the change of all variables is less than the set threshold or the maximum number of iterations is reached, stop the iteration and output the results.
[0203] The improved algorithm adopted by the present invention combines the periodic characteristics of the respiratory signal to make the millimeter wave radar respiratory monitoring system more in line with the actual respiratory pattern in low-rank sparse decomposition, effectively improving the robustness and detection accuracy of the model. This method is particularly suitable for non-contact health monitoring applications that require high-precision respiratory detection.
[0204] Finally, the present invention determines whether there is apnea by analyzing the non-zero elements in the sparse matrix. The signal energy of the sparse matrix at each time point is calculated. Apnea events usually show lower signal energy or continuous sparse abnormalities at multiple time points. In order to accurately determine apnea events, the present invention uses the following judgment criteria:
[0205] 1. Time window setting: Set a sliding time window (such as 10 seconds to 30 seconds) to analyze the changes in the signal during this period. According to the definition of apnea (usually a breathing interruption of more than 10 seconds), you can set an appropriate window length.
[0206] 2. Energy threshold determination: Calculate the sparse matrix within the sliding time window The average energy of the signal or the number of non-zero elements in the . If the value is lower than the set threshold, it is determined as an apnea event. The formula is as follows:
[0207] (16)
[0208] in for Matrix Line Then set the apnea threshold ,like , it is determined as a respiratory arrest event.
[0209] 3. Duration determination: In the sparse matrix, if multiple consecutive time windows meet the apnea condition (such as energy below the threshold), it is further confirmed as an apnea event. A minimum duration is set as the criterion for judging apnea.
[0210] The present invention provides a method and system for introducing periodic constraints in millimeter wave radar respiratory monitoring, which can significantly improve the recognition accuracy of respiratory signals and the detection capability of emergencies, and is suitable for non-contact physiological monitoring in various scenarios.

Any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be equivalent replacement modes and shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
