Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In this study, we propose a non-contact respiratory sensing technique for multiple people using millimeter-wave array radar. We focus on the characteristics of respiratory signals and propose a new technique for the separation and clustering of signals. This technique exploits individual differences in respiration patterns. The proposed method, called respiratory-space clustering, can achieve higher spatial resolution than conventional methods and can accurately separate radar echoes from multiple people in close proximity. Furthermore, the proposed method can be applied to situations where the number of subjects is unknown, because the proposed method can also estimate the number of subjects and their positions. We validate the performance of the proposed method by measuring seven participants. Through our experiments, we show that the average estimation error of the respiratory interval using the proposed method is 172 ms, which is sufficiently small compared with the typical respiratory interval of healthy adults (3-5 s). Furthermore, the accuracy of the proposed method in estimating the number of target people was 97.6%, which shows a significant improvement over conventional methods. These results demonstrate the effectiveness and high accuracy of the proposed radar-based method for measuring the respiration of multiple people.
