IWR1642: Possible to get in direct contact with someone who helped design the people counting demo?

Part Number: IWR1642

Hello,

my name is Patrick and I am a student from Germany. I am currently planning to do my bachelor thesis with one of your products, the people count demo on your IWR1642BOOST device to be specific. I  therefore would like to get in contact with someone from the team. I have a few specific, non technical questions to you which I think would not be suitable to place them all in the e2e community. 

It would would be a great help for me if someone could answer me these questions.

Best regards

Patrick

    Hi Justin,

    as I am planning to create a people counting system, similar to the the one one you did, but from the raw data the board delivers, I first would like to get a feeling of how much work is needed to realize this. Do you have any numbers of how much working hours and manpower you put in this project, so I can get an idea of it? Do you have any additional material which ist not already online but could be helpful to me?

    Thank you and best regards

    Patrick

    Hi Patrick,

    To develop a People Counting system, you will need to do 2 things:

    1. Generate a point cloud from the raw adc data
    2. Post Process the point cloud to determine what is and what isn't a person.

    I cannot say how much time went into the development of the project.  If you do not understand FMCW Radar signal processing, I would recommend getting the basics under your belt before diving into a complex project like this.

    If you already understand the radar processing, I would recommend starting with Matlab or a similar scripting language before writing the code in C.

    Regards,

    Justin
