Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wireless sensing and radio frequency signal processing technology, specifically to a method for eliminating background noise in radio frequency signals based on multimodal spatiotemporal decoupling. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of IoT and AI technologies, wireless sensing technology has shown great application potential in many fields such as security imaging, logistics monitoring, human behavior recognition, and indoor positioning due to its advantages such as non-line-of-sight propagation capability, good privacy protection, and insensitivity to lighting conditions. The core of radio frequency sensing technology lies in obtaining information such as the position, material, or motion state of a target object by analyzing the reflection characteristics of radio frequency signals on the object's surface.
[0003] However, in practical applications, the propagation of radio frequency signals is highly susceptible to interference from environmental factors. When a radar transmits a signal to a target object, the signal received by the receiver not only contains the direct reflected signal from the target object but also inevitably overlaps with background reflected signals from the surrounding environment (such as the ground, walls, furniture, etc.). This overlap of target and environmental signals severely obscures the true characteristics of the target object, greatly limiting the robustness of radio frequency sensing technology in complex scenarios and significantly impacting the accuracy and reliability of subsequent sensing tasks.
[0004] In existing technologies, a common method for eliminating environmental interference is background subtraction, which involves pre-collecting an empty scene signal without target objects as a background reference and then subtracting it from the signal containing the target. However, this method assumes that the environment is completely static, cannot cope with dynamic environmental changes, and struggles to handle the complex secondary reflection problem between the target and the environment. This results in incomplete signal decoupling, and residual noise still affects the accuracy and reliability of various sensing tasks.
[0005] Therefore, how to effectively decouple a pure target signal from aliased signals with strong environmental interference is a key technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in the field of radio frequency sensing. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method, system, medium, and device for eliminating background noise in radio frequency signals based on multimodal spatiotemporal decoupling. This method employs multimodal deep learning technology to achieve low-cost and high-efficiency background noise elimination of radio frequency signals. It addresses the problem that existing radio frequency sensing technologies struggle to separate clean target signals from aliased signals with strong environmental interference in real-world, complex environments.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A method for eliminating background noise in radio frequency signals based on multimodal spatiotemporal decoupling includes the following steps: S1. Acquire the original radio frequency reflection signal of the target object using a single-transmitter single-receiver commercial pulse ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) radar, and simultaneously acquire a depth image containing scene information corresponding to the area where the target object is located; the original radio frequency reflection signal contains an aliasing component of the target object's radio frequency reflection signal and the environmental background radio frequency reflection signal. S2. Construct a dual-modal spatiotemporal coding network model for signal and image, encode the original radio frequency reflection signal and the depth image respectively, and extract the spatiotemporal features of the original radio frequency reflection signal and the spatiotemporal features of the depth image; S3. Construct intra-modal and cross-modal fusion modules. Guided by the spatiotemporal features of the depth image, the spatiotemporal features of the original radio frequency reflection signal and the spatiotemporal features of the depth image are fused through a multi-head cross-attention mechanism to obtain multimodal fusion features. S4. Construct a signal decoder and a composite loss function. Input the multimodal fusion features into the clean signal decoder module. Enhance the original radio frequency reflection signal by predicting the attention mask. Combined with residual connection, reconstruct the clean signal from the original radio frequency reflection signal to achieve radio frequency signal background noise elimination. In S1, the radar and depth camera are fixedly installed. The target object moves through the radar detection area with the conveyor belt. During this process, the radar continuously transmits detection pulses to the moving target object and receives the echo, thereby completing the acquisition of the original radio frequency reflection signal. The aliasing component is the superposition of the target object's radio frequency reflection signal and the environmental background radio frequency reflection signal in the radio frequency signal received by the radar; the target object's radio frequency reflection signal is used to extract the target object's spatial position and geometric structure; the environmental background radio frequency reflection signal is used to characterize irrelevant interference components in the scene, which are noise components to be eliminated. In the multimodal feature fusion stage, background noise is identified and eliminated by spatiotemporally aligning it with the environmental features of the depth image.
[0008] In S2, the signal-image dual-modal spatiotemporal coding network model adopts a feature extraction architecture based on a parallel convolutional neural network. The feature extraction architecture includes a single-modal encoder module that processes data of different modalities, namely a signal time encoder module, a signal space encoder module, a depth image time encoder module, and a depth image space encoder module, which are used to extract the spatiotemporal features of the original radio frequency reflection signal and the spatiotemporal features of the depth image, respectively.

The encoder consists of three one-dimensional convolutional sub-blocks, one residual sub-block, and one two-dimensional convolutional sub-block. The encoder is used to extract the spatiotemporal features of the original radio frequency reflection signal. and ; The processing steps of the depth image temporal encoder module and the depth image spatial encoder module are as follows: the depth image is input into three two-dimensional convolutional sub-blocks to extract depth features, and then features are extracted along the time dimension through two one-dimensional convolutional blocks to generate image spatiotemporal features. and .
[0010] In S3, the intra-modal and cross-modal fusion module is used to extract cross-modal spatial fusion features, cross-modal temporal fusion features, intra-modal signal features, and intra-modal image features; The intra-modal and cross-modal fusion module includes intra-modal fusion units and cross-modal fusion units, and its calculation process includes: For cross-modal fusion units in the spatial dimension, multi-head cross-attention (MCA) is used to compute spatial fusion features.

It is a normalized exponential function; For intramodal fusion units, calculate intramodal features. and The calculation method is similar to that of cross-modal fusion, except that the attention calculation is performed on the same modality. The formulas are as follows: Adaptive weighting, calculating the final fused features : in, Defined as: .

The final predicted pure signal for: In step S4, the loss function The calculation formula is: in, Cosine similarity loss over time: ; Cosine similarity loss for the distance dimension: ; Extreme value mean square error loss; ; This is a hyperparameter.
[0012] In step S4, during the network training phase, a clean signal based on a physical propagation model is used to generate a corresponding label.

It extracts the spatiotemporal features of the radio frequency signal and the depth image separately using a single-modal encoder, and performs depth alignment in both spatial and temporal dimensions using a multi-head cross-attention mechanism. This mechanism not only leverages the spatial resolution advantage of the visual modality but also fully exploits the temporal continuity features of the radio frequency modality, thereby achieving accurate capture of the target object signal and effective suppression of background noise.
[0018] In summary, this invention, by designing a radio frequency (RF) signal denoising network model and utilizing the spatiotemporal features of depth images to guide the spatiotemporal feature alignment and noise stripping of RF signals, achieves accurate extraction of target object signals in complex dynamic environments. This invention not only significantly reduces the data acquisition cost of RF sensing systems but also greatly improves the robustness and accuracy of signal processing, making it widely applicable in fields such as wireless sensing signal preprocessing and enhancement.

[0041] The radio frequency signal background noise cancellation method based on multimodal spatiotemporal decoupling of this invention was tested in the laboratory.
[0042] Please see Figure 4 The figure shows a comparison of the original received signal, the signal processed by the traditional static background removal method, the clean signal output by the method of this invention, and the true signal under the same experimental conditions. Experimental results show that the original received signal contains a large amount of clutter caused by environmental reflections, severely obscuring the target features. While the traditional background removal method can filter out some static clutter, it is weak in handling dynamic interference, leaving noticeable signal residue. In contrast, the signal output by the method of this invention clearly preserves the reflection characteristics of the target object, and background noise is effectively suppressed, showing a high degree of consistency with the true signal.
[0043] Experimental results show that when trained using only the real dataset, the model's RRMSE is 0.0833 and SSIM is 0.9289; however, after introducing the simulated dataset for joint training, the RRMSE significantly decreases to 0.0274 and the SSIM increases to 0.9861.

Furthermore, in non-line-of-sight scenarios where the object is completely obscured by a cardboard box, the method of this invention still maintains extremely high performance, with the RRMSE increasing by only 0.0086 and the SSIM decreasing by only 0.0078 compared to the line-of-sight scenario. This proves that the depth image-guided denoising mechanism of this invention has extremely strong robustness against occlusion and environmental interference.
