Hello,

How can we remove static clutter in the PostProc app the mmwave studio generate? 

Thanks!

    Hi Mustafa.

    There is not a static clutter removal option in mmWave studio.  You can find more information on static clutter removal on pg. 22 of the mmWave SDK User Guide.

    Thank you Chloe. According to the sdk user guide, I could send a configuration command to remove static clutter "clutterRemoval -1 1" which is very useful. However, how can I do that while I am connected to the hardware through mmwave studio. I could open another terminal window and send the command manually but once the mmwave studio is connected to the UART port, I can't setup another connection.

    Hi Mustafa,

    You are not able to send SDK configurations and capture with mmWave Studio. mmWave studio does have some post processing options in the post processing window under 'miscellaneous options', maybe these will be useful for you.

    Hi Chloe,

    I am familiar with the miscellaneous options in mmwave studio (where you can set the CFAR parameters and so on) but I don't see anything related clutter removal. Basically, if you know of a way to remove clutter while processing data through the mmWave studio, I would really appreciate it if you can share the details of how to do so. Otherwise, I would have to force clutter removal inside the code which I would like to avoid in case there are other options. Thanks!

    Hi Mustafa,

    There isn't a way to remove static clutter in mmWave studio, so writing a post-processing script for the functions you want will be the way to go.

    Thank you Chole. This answers my question. I would highly suggest this feature to be added in one of the future updates. A lot of applications require clutter remover and have it being part of mmwave studio make it easier on us especially that it is already supported in the mmwave visualizer.
