IWR1443BOOST: Threshold values for vital signs detection

Part Number: IWR1443BOOST

Hello,

I have been using IWR1443BOOST and wanted to replicate the vital signs lab following the latest vital sign lab guide(https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=A__APopVrbGviZJDyscKY19dQ__com.ti.mmwave_industrial_toolbox__VLyFKFf__LATEST).

I have a question regarding setting up the threshold value in "Impulsive noise removal" and "motion corrupted segment removal/Gain control."

  • What threshold values and interpolated values have TI taken for the development of the vital signs lab?
  • What user-defined threshold value has been taken by TI vital signs lab development team?

    

Apart from this question, I have other questions.

  • What is the m and a(m) indicated in impulsive noise removal?
  • is it a bin in the slow time axis >>> 
  •            

Regards

Deepu

  • Hi Deepu,

    Thank you for reaching out on our e2e forums with this question. The subject matter expert on this topic is out until the new year so I do not have specifics but I can point you to our source code to learn more here. At mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_12_1\labs\Vital_Signs\14xx_vital_signs\pjt you will find our source code for this project. This processing is done in main.c. 

    Thank you,

    Angie

  • Hi Angie,

    Thank you for the response. The subject expert is on a long leave. Doesn't TI have any other member who can respond?

    I have been reading code myself. Would it be fine for you to indicate the exact line of code for the above queries?

    Regards

  • Hi Deepu,

    You can look at line 608 for impulse noise removal and then look more specifically at the filter_RemoveImpulseNoise function which is called on line 615. 

    The variables for detecting motion corrupted segments can be found at 424 so I would trace where these are used.

    Thanks,

    Angie
