Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Object recognition has numerous applications including asset tracking, lifestyle analysis, and navigation assistance. However, state-of-the-art approaches tend to require electric objects or tagged objects, or they rely on privacy-sensitive data such as audio or visual images. In this paper, we present a microwave-based object recognition approach. We use two single-antenna software-defined radios to transmit microwave signals through objects and receive them on the opposite side. Then, we recognize the objects using a Random Forest classifier. We evaluated the proposed system using four objects and several microwave frequencies. Using only a 10 ms signal, the system can correctly detect the presence of the object 98.7% of the time, and it can differentiate between different objects 92% of the time.
