• Abstract: Radar for indoor monitoring is an emerging area of research and development, covering and supporting different health and wellbeing applications of smart homes, assisted living, and medical diagnosis. We report on a successful RF sensing system for home monitoring applications. The system recognizes Activities of Daily Living(ADL) and detects unique motion characteristics, using data processing and training algorithms. We also examine the challenges of continuously monitoring various human activities which can be categorized into translation motions (active mode) and in-place motions (resting mode). We use the range-map, offered by a range-Doppler radar, to obtain the transition time between these two categories, characterized by changing and constant range values, respectively. This is achieved using the Radon transform that identifies straight lines of different slopes in the range-map image. Over the in-place motion time intervals, where activities have insignificant or negligible range swath, power threshold of the radar return micro-Doppler signatures,which is employed to define the time-spans of individual activities with insignificant or negligible range swath. Finding both the transition times and the time-spans of the different motions leads to improved classifications, as it avoids decisions rendered over time windows covering mixed activities.

  We investigate the scaling properties of sensor foundation models across compute, data, and model size. Using a dataset of up to 40 million hours of in-situ heart rate, heart rate variability, electrodermal activity, accelerometer, skin temperature, and altimeter per-minute data from over 165,000 people, we create LSM. Our results establish the scaling laws of LSM for tasks such as imputation, extrapolation, both across time and sensor modalities.

  We address the problem of unsupervised moving object segmentation (MOS) in 4D LiDAR data recorded from a stationary sensor, where no ground truth annotations are involved. We propose a novel 4D LiDAR representation based on a time series that relaxes the problem of unsupervised MOS. Experiments on stationary scenes from the Raw KITTI dataset show that our fully unsupervised approach achieves performance that is comparable to that of supervised state-of-the-art approaches.
