The unique, bi-pedal motion of humans has been shown to generate a characteristic micro-Doppler signature in the time-frequency domain that can be used to discriminate humans from not just other targets, but also between different activities, such as walking and running. In the literature, many different features have been proposed for classification applications. However, it is not known which features have a greater impact on classification performance, or indeed how many features should be used to achieve good classification. In this work, the mutual information of features extracted from human micro-Doppler signatures is computed. Taking the problem of classifying human arm-swing as an example, the features extracted are ordered in terms of importance.

Classification of Human Micro-Doppler in a Radar Network Tekeli, Burkan; Gurbuz, Sevgi Zubeyde; Yüksel Turgut, Ayşe Melda; Gurbuz, Ali Cafer; Guldogan, Mehmet Burak (2013-01-01) The unique, bi-pedal motion of humans has been shown to generate a characteristic micro-Doppler signature in the time-frequency domain that can be used to discriminate humans from not just other targets, but also between different activities, such as walking and running. However, the classification performance increasingly drops as the aspect angle between the target and radar approaches perpendicular, and the radial velocity component seen by the radar is minimized. In this paper, exploitation of the multi...
Information-Theoretic Feature Selection for Human Micro-Doppler Signature Classification Tekeli, Burkan; Gurbuz, Sevgi Zubeyde; Yüksel Turgut, Ayşe Melda (2016-05-01) Micro-Doppler signatures can be used not only to recognize different targets, such as vehicles, helicopters, animals, and people, but also to classify varying activities, e.g., walking, running, creeping, and crawling. For this purpose, a plethora of features have been proposed in the literature; however, dozens of features are not required to achieve high classification performance. The topic of feature selection has been under addressed in micro-Doppler studies. Moreover, the optimal feature set is not st...
ACOUSTIC SURFACE PERCEPTION FOR IMPROVED MOBILITY OF LEGGED ROBOTS Ozkul, Mine Cuneyitoglu; Saranlı, Afşar; Yazıcıoğlu, Yiğit (2012-08-15) A dynamically dexterous legged robot has the distinct property that the legs are continuously interacting with the environment. During walking and running, this interaction generates acoustic signals that carry considerable information about the surface being traversed, state of the robot legs and joint motors as well as the stability of the locomotion. Extracting a particular piece of information from this convolved acoustic signal however is an interesting and challenging area of research which we believe...
Feature Selection for Classification of Human Micro-Doppler Gurbuz, Sevgi Zubeyde; Tekeli, Burkan; Karabacak, Cesur; Yüksel Turgut, Ayşe Melda (2013-01-01) Dozens of features have been proposed for the use in a variety of human micro-Doppler classification problems, such as activity classification, target identification, and arm swing detection. However, the issues of how many features are truly required, which features should be selected, and whether or how this selection will vary depending upon human activity has not yet been rigorously addressed in the context of human micro-Doppler analysis. Moreover, most classification results are present for the case w...
Synchronization of multiple serially actuated robotic legs using virtual damping control Özen, Merve; Saranlı, Uluç; Department of Computer Engineering (2018) Even though one-legged models have been found to be a useful fundamental basis for understanding and controlling the dynamics of running, animals and physical robots alike often use multiple legs for additional support, dexterity, and stability. In general, the dynamics of such multi-legged morphologies are more complex and their control is more difficult. A common problem in this context is to achieve a particular phase relationship between periodic oscillations of different legs, resulting in different lo...
