[0030] Figure 1 It is a principle schematic view of the multi-modal human existence radar monitoring system. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In the following description, a large number of specific details are given in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present application. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present application can be implemented without one or more of these details. In other examples, some technical features known in the art are not described in order not to obscure the present application.

[0032] Applicant believes that the traditional monitoring system mostly relies on single sensing technology, such as infrared sensor, ultrasonic sensor, etc. These technologies are easily disturbed in some environments. For example, the infrared sensor is greatly affected by environmental temperature changes, the ultrasonic sensor is strongly affected by sound reflection, and the radar can detect the movement of the human body, but its recognition and analysis ability for complex human body actions is still weak. At the same time, the existing radar system usually faces the problem of insufficient spatial resolution, which means that they may have difficulty in accurately distinguishing different targets in complex environments, especially in the case of multiple targets or obstructions, the recognition accuracy is low.

[0033] To this end, the applicant designs a multi-modal human presence radar monitoring system composed of radar sensors, infrared sensors, visual sensors, sound sensors and pressure sensors, which combines data acquisition and processing technologies of multiple sensors, can realize high-precision monitoring of human presence and activity, and realizes automatic control of equipment through intelligent control feedback mechanism. The advantage of the system is high integration and multi-sensor complementation, which can provide higher monitoring accuracy and reliability in different environments, and through the integration of multi-modal data sources, the radar system can provide real-time human dynamic monitoring, accurately capture important information such as human motion trajectory, position change and breathing frequency. This provides more rich and accurate sensing capabilities for smart home, intelligent security, health monitoring and other applications.

[0034] The multi-modal human presence radar monitoring system disclosed by the utility model relates to a kind of multi-modal human presence radar monitoring system, in practical application, as shown in Figure 1 As shown, it comprises radar sensor, infrared sensor, visual sensor, sound sensor and pressure sensor;Radar uses millimeter wave radar, infrared sensor uses thermal imaging to detect human heat, to further improve the accuracy of human detection, especially in the weak radar signal scene. Visual sensor (camera): through computer vision analysis of human contour or behavior in image, to identify and track the dynamic of human. Sound sensor: using sound wave analysis, detecting human voice or breathing and other physiological activities. Pressure sensor: detect the pressure change of human in mattress, floor and other places, to confirm whether there is human presence or not in sleep state.

[0035] The system monitors whether there is human presence in target area in real time. For example, in smart home, the radar system can detect whether there is personnel in the room, and automatically adjust the light or air conditioner. The system can calculate the accurate position of human through radar signal reflection, and can be dynamically tracked, suitable for personnel monitoring in security monitoring or industrial environment. Combined with the data of multi-modal sensors, the specific actions of human (such as standing, sitting, walking, etc.) can be analyzed, and abnormal behaviors (such as falling, sudden stagnation, etc.) can be identified, for health care of the elderly or intelligent medical treatment. The system can also monitor the vital signs of human, such as breathing rate, heart rate, etc., commonly used in medical monitoring, remote health management and other fields.

[0036] Optimize computing performance and efficiency by combining different types of processors such as CPU, GPU, TPU (Tensor Processing Unit). Combine hardware specifically designed for specific tasks (such as artificial intelligence or image processing) with general-purpose computing units to improve the overall performance and energy efficiency of the system. Such as Google's TPU, NVIDIA's A100, Apple's M series chip

[0037] In actual use process: infrared sensor transmits after infrared data acquisition;

[0038] Infrared sensors collect data by detecting infrared radiation, such as heat or changes in temperature of objects. They convert the sensed infrared signals into electrical signals, which are then processed and transmitted. After the sensor detects infrared radiation, it converts these signals into digital or analog signals that can be processed. The infrared data is transmitted to a data processing system through wired or wireless communication protocols (such as I2C, SPI, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc.). The transmitted infrared data is information such as temperature, heat distribution, etc. The data is transmitted through the transmission system to the receiving end (microcontroller, computer, or embedded system) for analysis, filtering, denoising, and analysis. After the visual sensor collects infrared data, it is transmitted

[0039] Visual sensors (such as infrared cameras or infrared scanners) are usually used to collect image or video data, capture infrared spectra (such as thermal imaging), and transmit data through certain processing and transmission methods. Visual sensors generate images or videos by capturing information in the infrared band. These infrared imaging data reflect the temperature distribution and thermal characteristics of objects. Image data is transmitted through image transmission protocols (such as MJPEG, H.264 compression format, or through network protocols such as HTTP, RTSP). The received data is processed through decoding, denoising, color adjustment, etc. In some applications, machine learning algorithms are also used for target detection, temperature anomaly detection, etc.

[0040] Sound sensors collect infrared data after transmission;

[0041] Sound sensors (such as microphones or ultrasonic sensors) collect sound signals, not direct infrared data. Sound sensors usually do not directly collect infrared data. However, ultrasonic sensors can measure temperature, distance, or other types of data by emitting ultrasonic waves and receiving echoes. Sound sensors collect sound signals, which usually need to be converted into digital signals through audio processing. Data transmission: sound signals are transmitted through transmission protocols (such as PCM, I2S, Wi-Fi, etc.). Data processing: audio data is processed through signal processing algorithms (such as filtering, noise suppression, echo cancellation, etc.) for analysis or triggering other applications.

[0042] Pressure sensors collect infrared data after transmission;

[0043] Pressure sensors are mainly used to sense pressure changes, but in some applications, they can also be combined with infrared technology (such as monitoring the temperature of gases or liquids through pressure sensors). In these scenarios, the sensor combines infrared data collection for sensing.

[0044] The pressure sensor converts the detected pressure value (represented by voltage changes) into a digital or analog signal, combined with infrared data (e.g., temperature changes). The collected pressure and infrared data are transmitted to the data processing center through wired or wireless transmission protocols (such as CAN, I2C, LoRa, etc.).

[0045] The receiving end system analyzes the data, including the correlation between pressure changes and infrared signals, for fault diagnosis, temperature compensation, or environmental monitoring applications.

[0046] After data transmission, the receiving end system needs to further process these data. The processing flow includes the following steps:

[0047] Data reception and decoding: The receiving end first needs to decode the received data (for example, analog signals obtained from sensors need to be converted into digital signals through ADC (analog-to-digital converter)). For image or video data, decoding operations are usually required.

[0048] Data filtering and denoising: During transmission, there may be noise interference, and the receiving end often uses filters (such as low-pass filters) to denoise the data to ensure data quality.

[0049] Feature extraction and analysis: According to application requirements, specific features (such as temperature hotspots in images, frequency spectrum analysis of sound signals, etc.) may need to be extracted and further analyzed. Signal processing algorithms, pattern recognition, data fusion, etc. can be used.

[0050] Data storage: The processed data may be stored in a database for subsequent query, analysis, or historical data recording.

[0051] Decision and control: Based on the analysis results, the system may make decisions or trigger specific actions. For example, if the temperature detected by the infrared sensor is too high, the system will trigger an alarm or shut down the device.

[0052] Feedback and display: For real-time monitoring systems, data processing will be displayed through the user interface or fed back to other control systems for further response (such as in smart homes, the combination of visual and infrared sensor data will automatically adjust indoor temperature and humidity).

[0053] It is apparent for a person skilled in the art that the present application is not restricted to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, but that it can be implemented in other concrete forms without departing from the spirit or the essential characteristics of the present application. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered as exemplary only, and not limiting, the scope of the present application being defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and all changes coming within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein. Any reference signs in the claims should not be construed as limiting the claims concerned.
