Micro-Doppler radar classification of humans and animals in an operational environment

作者:

Highlights:

• A Gaussian mixture Hidden Markov model is used to classify ground moving targets.

• An improvement in performance over popular state-of-the-art method is demonstrated.

• Targets can be accurately classified at ranges exceeding 1 km.

• The model can distinguish between different classes of animals and humans.

• The accuracy ranges from 75% to 90% for times on target up to 1.25 s.
