IWR6843AOPEVM: Person dectection and localization when the sensor is moving

Part Number: IWR6843AOPEVM

We are trying to implement a similar function, but the goal is to localize the person (or even localize multiple persons)

We also do not care about the actual vital sign; we want to ensure that the person is present at a certain position. (and ignore other objects such as a moving AGV

In addition, the sensor will be installed on a moving platform (it may move fast); I wonder whether this property will affect the functionality.


[Q1] Where could we start to implement this function?

[Q2] If the sensor itself is moving at a certain speed, is it possible for the sensor to detect and localize the person?



  • Hi,

    [Q1] Where could we start to implement this function?

    It sounds like you may want to look at the People Counting Lab instead of vital signs.

    [Q2] If the sensor itself is moving at a certain speed, is it possible for the sensor to detect and localize the person?

    Yes but you will need to implement this functionality yourself. You might also look at the Robotics/Small Obstacle Detection lab too, as it would also be close to what you're describing here.

  • Thank you, Nathon! 

    I wonder if the People Counting Lab will also detect moving objects, such as an approaching box.

    Also, for Q2, do you mean that it will detect the people, and all I need to do is to transform the coordinate?


    Sorry for asking these wired question, I am really new to this field :(

  • Hi Toby,

    Yes it will.

    The people counting labs do not account for changes in the sensor's position. So, if you have a moving sensor, you'll need to give the application that information so it doesn't believe that stationary objects are moving due to the sensor's movement.
