Abstract

This paper proposes the design and implementation results for human and object classification systems utilizing frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar sensors. Such a system requires the process of radar sensor signal processing for multi-target detection and the process of deep learning for the classification of humans and objects. Since deep learning requires such a great amount of computation and data processing, the lightweight process is of utmost essential. Therefore, a binary neural network (BNN) structure was adopted, operating convolution neural network (CNN) computation in a binary condition. In addition, for the real-time operation, a hardware accelerator was implemented and verified via the field-programmable gate array (FPGA) platform. Based on performance evaluation and verified results, it is confirmed that the accuracy for multi-target classification of 90.5%, reduced memory usage by 96.87% compared to CNN, and the run time of 5 ms are achieved.
