AWR1642BOOST: Can I get the profile.cfg from mmWave Demo Visualizer for "people counting" task?

Joy Yang

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST

I use the default profile.cfg from mmWave Demo Visualizer (https://www.ti.com/video/5703026974001) for people detection scenario.

In the people counting video (https://www.ti.com/video/5703026974001), the object points detected by radar are so stable/robust.

But I found that the radar detected object points are not stable enough.

* The static people shows up sometimes, and are missing sometimes.

* When people are moving, there are many noisy object points shown.

Here is my profile.cfg:

Could you give me some suggestions?

How could I translate the following setttings (from https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=A__AL49BIwjM3y1XA.OQugwkQ__com.ti.mmwave_industrial_toolbox__VLyFKFf__3.2.0) to the profile.cfg?

Hi Joy,

In profile.cfg you can find the command profileCfg <args>, this command will help you to configure the profile. Please refer to the SDK User Guide (mmwave_sdk_03_06_00_00-LTS\docs\mmwave_sdk_user_guide.pdf) for the command arguments/parameters.

All the other commands and arguments taken by each command are described in the sdk user guide.

Thanks,
Anirban
