IWR6843: The accuracy of the human breathing and heartbeat algorithm

Part Number: IWR6843
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642

  1. How about IWR6843 testing the accuracy of the human heartbeat algorithm, how mature?
  2. If the project goes on, how to support our development, the human heartbeat algorithm open source to us?
  3. Could TI help us to create environmental modeling and object classification to point-cloud data?
  4. Could TI help us processing point-cloud data for object identification and classification requires processor-intensive algorithms?
  5. Can IWR6438 not only detect human breathing and heartbeat but also detect human moving at the same time?

  • Hi Max,

    1. I cannot comment on absolute accuracy but the demo is capable of detecting vital signs to within a few beats per minute.

    2. Yes, all mmWave Labs on the Resource Explorer are released as open-source. You are free to use them indefinitely.

    3,4 For both of these I'd recommend trying the Area Scanner Lab on the TI Resource Explorer. This lab outputs the radar data in a point-cloud fashion and also utilizes algorithms for both people-tracking and static-object detection.

    5. Detecting vital signs for moving people is going to be very challenging and not recommended for the demo.

    For future queries regarding the vital signs demo please use the part number AWR1642.

    Cheers,
