Advancements in UWB-Based Human Motion Detection Through Wall: A Comprehensive Analysis

Abstract

Ultra-wide Band (UWB) technology has emerged as a pivotal tool for human motion detection, finding applications in diverse areas ranging from smart homes to automotive safety. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of methodologies employed in UWB-based motion detection, elucidating their strengths, challenges, and performance metrics. While several methods, including Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) approaches, have been explored, challenges such as motion state overlaps, the necessity for enhanced spatial resolution, and background noise interference persist. Among the various methods analyzed, the SGWO-based RMDL technique emerges as a frontrunner, offering superior accuracy, reduced mean squared error, and impressive true negative and positive rates. Moreover, its computational efficiency sets a precedent in human motion detection. This paper provides insights into the state-of-the-art Through the wall imaging and human vital signs observation for future research and realtime applications.
