[0020] The disabled are a major social issue worldwide. In particular, the disabled have difficulty in moving, and face many challenges in road traffic, requiring special attention from drivers. However, at present, there is very little research on pedestrian recognition for the disabled, and due to the small amount of sample data of the disabled, it is difficult to obtain good detection and segmentation accuracy through large-scale training of deep learning.

[0021] The present disclosure provides a pedestrian classification and recognition method, device, electronic device, and storage medium based on signal statistical features, which require a small amount of samples, thereby enabling more accurate detection of the disabled.

[0022] Figure 1The flowchart shows the pedestrian classification and recognition method based on signal statistical features provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. This specification provides method operation steps such as in the embodiments or flowcharts, but based on routine or non-creative labor, there can be more or fewer operation steps. The step order listed in the embodiments is only one way among the execution orders of numerous steps and does not represent the only execution order. When the actual system or server product executes, it can be executed in the order shown in the embodiments or the drawings, or executed in parallel (such as in an environment with parallel processors or multi-threaded processing).

[0023] S101: Obtain a pedestrian sample dataset, which is radar detection data containing different types of pedestrian samples and corresponding label information.

[0024] Among them, the pedestrian sample dataset includes normal pedestrians and disabled persons. Here, the disabled persons mainly refer to pedestrians with disabilities and inconvenient mobility. Moreover, all pedestrian samples in the pedestrian sample dataset have been pre-annotated with corresponding label information. Through this label information, it can be known which type of pedestrian a pedestrian sample belongs to, whether it is a normal pedestrian or a disabled person.

[0025] In addition, the pedestrian sample dataset here includes radar detection data, which is obtained by receiving the echo of the electromagnetic wave emitted by the radar device and can calculate information such as the distance and speed of the object.

[0026] S102: Extract the micro-Doppler features of each pedestrian sample in the pedestrian sample dataset to obtain the signal statistical features of different types of pedestrian samples. The signal statistical features include statistical torso Doppler information, statistical Doppler total bandwidth, and statistical limb movement period.

[0027] Specifically, the micro-Doppler feature extraction refers to the following processing.

[0028] First, perform range-Doppler processing on each pedestrian sample (radar detection data) in the pedestrian sample dataset.

[0029] Then, perform time-Doppler processing. Specifically, after range-Doppler processing, n range-Doppler maps are obtained. Each element in the range-Doppler map is called a "range cell". Then, for each range-Doppler map, the range cells are added together along the range axis to form a vector e. Finally, n temporally consecutive frames are combined together to form a time-Doppler spectrogram E with a time length of n frames.

[0030] Finally, after the above distance-Doppler processing and time-Doppler processing, combined with the label information of each pedestrian sample, the processed result signals of different types of pedestrian samples are analyzed and statistically processed to obtain the signal statistical characteristics of different types of pedestrian samples. Here, the processed result signals include the result signals of distance-Doppler processing and the result signals of time-Doppler processing. In addition, the signal statistical characteristics include statistical torso Doppler information, statistical Doppler total bandwidth, and statistical limb movement period. They are respectively statistically obtained according to the torso Doppler information, Doppler total bandwidth, and limb movement period of different types of pedestrian samples. For example, the statistical torso Doppler information, statistical Doppler total bandwidth, and statistical limb movement period of normal pedestrians are statistically obtained according to normal pedestrian samples, and the statistical torso Doppler information, statistical Doppler total bandwidth, and statistical limb movement period of disabled persons are statistically obtained according to disabled person samples.

[0031] (I) The torso Doppler information can be the torso Doppler frequency x1, which corresponds to the torso velocity of the pedestrian. The human torso velocity is a very basic but important piece of information. For different activities, there are significant differences in the torso velocity, which is shown in the following formula (1):

[0032]

[0033] where, dopplerArgmax(e i ) represents the Doppler frequency shift corresponding to the maximum signal intensity in the vector e, V i represents the torso movement velocity in one frame, λ represents the wavelength. Z represents the total number of frames in the entire observation period.

[0034] In addition, the Doppler information can also be the torso Doppler bandwidth.

[0035] (II) The total bandwidth x2 of the Doppler signal is related to the movement velocity of the limbs. Rapidly swinging the arms or legs will result in a larger bandwidth. It is shown in the following formula (2):

[0036]

[0037] where, is the time-Doppler spectrogram with a time window size of T w . and respectively represent extracting the upper envelope and the lower envelope within the time window.

[0038] (III) The limb movement period x3 corresponds to the swinging rate of the arms and legs, and it is shown in the following formula (3):

[0039]

[0040] where, Indicates the number of extreme points of the upper envelope and the lower envelope within the time window.

[0041] S103: Determine the signal statistical feature ranges of different types of pedestrians based on the signal statistical features of different types of pedestrian samples, and store the signal statistical feature ranges of different types of pedestrians.

[0042] After obtaining the signal statistical features of different types of pedestrian samples through step S102, the signal statistical feature ranges of different types of pedestrians can be determined based on the signal statistical features of different types of pedestrian samples, and the signal statistical feature ranges can be stored, which can be used for subsequent pedestrian classification and recognition.

[0043] S104: Classify and recognize the pedestrians to be detected based on the stored signal statistical feature ranges.

[0044] Each pedestrian sample (radar detection data) in the present disclosure is data detected under relatively long-distance conditions, so that the presence of disabled persons can be detected with a certain lead and early warning and other processes can be carried out.

[0045] According to the present disclosure, relatively accurate detection of disabled persons can be achieved with a small sample size.

[0046] Figure 2 Shows the structural block diagram of the pedestrian classification and recognition device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 3 shown, the pedestrian classification and recognition device 200 includes: an acquisition module 201, a feature extraction module 202, a range determination module 203, and a classification and recognition module 204.

[0047] Among them, the acquisition module 201 is used to acquire a pedestrian sample data set, which includes different types of pedestrian samples and corresponding label information. The feature extraction module 202 is used to perform micro-Doppler feature extraction on each pedestrian sample in the pedestrian sample data set to obtain the signal statistical features of different types of pedestrian samples, and the signal statistical features include torso Doppler information, Doppler total bandwidth, and limb movement period. The range determination module 203 is used to determine the signal statistical feature ranges of different types of pedestrians based on the signal statistical features of different types of pedestrian samples, and store the signal statistical feature ranges of different types of pedestrians. The classification and recognition module 204 is used to classify and recognize the pedestrians to be detected based on the stored signal statistical feature ranges.

As Figure 3As shown, the present disclosure also provides an electronic device 300, which includes a processor and a memory. At least one instruction or at least one program segment is stored in the memory, and the at least one instruction or the at least one program segment is loaded and executed by the processor to implement the method described in the above embodiments.

[0049] The present disclosure also provides a computer storage medium, in which at least one instruction or at least one program segment is stored, and the at least one instruction or the at least one program segment is loaded and executed by a processor to implement the method described in the above embodiments.

[0050] Optionally, in this embodiment, the above storage medium may be located in at least one of multiple network servers in a computer network. Optionally, in this embodiment, the above storage medium may include, but is not limited to: various media capable of storing program codes such as USB flash drives, read-only memories (ROMs), random access memories (RAMs), mobile hard disks, magnetic disks, or optical discs.

To clearly illustrate the interchangeability of electronic hardware and software, the composition and steps of each example have been generally described according to functions in the above description. Whether these functions are executed in the form of electronic hardware or software depends on the specific application and design constraints of the technical solution.
