Title
Radar-based hand gesture recognition using spiking neural networks
Author
Abstract
We propose a spiking neural network (SNN) approach for radar-based hand gesture recognition (HGR), using frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) millimeter-wave radar. After pre-processing the range-Doppler or micro-Doppler radar signal, we use a signal-to-spike conversion scheme that encodes radar Doppler maps into spike trains. The spike trains are fed into a spiking recurrent neural network, a liquid state machine (LSM). The readout spike signal from the SNN is then used as input for different classifiers for comparison, including logistic regression, random forest, and support vector machine (SVM). Using liquid state machines of less than 1000 neurons, we achieve better than state-of-the-art results on two publicly available reference datasets, reaching over 98% accuracy on 10-fold cross-validation for both data sets.
