Abstract
Human micro-Doppler signatures in most passive WiFi radar (PWR) scenarios are captured through real-world measurements using various hardware platforms. However, gathering large volumes of high quality and diverse real radar datasets has always been an expensive and laborious task. This work presents an open-source motion capture data-driven simulation tool SimHumalator that is able to generate human microDoppler radar data in PWR scenarios. We qualitatively compare the micro-Doppler signatures generated through SimHumalator with the measured real signatures. Here, we present the use of SimHumalator to simulate a set of human actions. We demonstrate that augmenting a measurement database with simulated data, using SimHumalator, results in an 8% improvement in classification accuracy. Our results suggest that simulation data can be used to augment experimental datasets of limited volume to address the cold-start problem typically encountered in radar research.
