Subject
Person identification is crucial in many applications such as public and smart home security and thief detection. The common approaches use camera which violates privacy and fail to function in harsh weather and intense light conditions. On the other hand, recent advances in radar technologies have turned it into a robust and privacy-friendly sensor in many civilian applications.
IMEC has recently developed advanced radar imaging algorithms capable of generating point clouds of people from afar. The idea of this topic is to develop these algorithms further to get a high-resolution point cloud in spatial domain based on which people can be identified. Accordingly, the following steps are foreseen for this position:
1. Developing appropriated radar signal processing to generate high-resolution point cloud of a person in spatial domain
2. Developing a machine-learning-based model with the features given by the algorithm developed in the previous step as input and the ID of the person as output.
Kind of work
Master Thesis internship @ IMEC (6 months)
Preceded by (optional) summer internship @ IMEC (1-3 months) (the summer internship alone is not possible)
