IWR1443: Can the people counter run on the IWR 1443?

Part Number: IWR1443
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1642, IWR1642BOOST,

I would like to combine the vital signs and people counter labs to be able to determine vitals from stationary (triggered after an event such as sitting or laying down) individuals that are in a room . Eventually I would like to use the 3D scatter plot to determine if someone is sitting, standing or laying on the floor. Can all of this be done solely using the 1443 or do I need to also attach the IWR1642 to create this type of project? 

  • Hi Tiara,

    You will need IWR1642 for the People Counting Demo since the on-chip DSP is required for clustering and tracking of point object data. For this reason I'd highly recommend ordering and IWR1642BOOST.

    Cheers,

  • Additionally,
    The People counting Demo is implemented on the IWR1642 wherein the Object Detection algorithm runs on the C674x DSP whereas the Object tracking on the ARM Cortex-R4F. The apllication requires 512KiB of Radar cube memory. IWR1443 doesnot have a C674x DSP and the memory required to implement People counting Signal processing chain. Hence it cannot be ported to IWR1443.
