IWR6843: IWR6843ISK_ODS Static Point Cloud cfg usage

Part Number: IWR6843

Hi,

I was wondering if you can point me to any documentation for the usage of static point cloud in the cfg. I am currently tuning the radar cfg for overhead people counting.
So far I am using the cfg from the ES2.0 area scanner lab with OK results but it would be good to make the static point cloud output more reliable. Right now the configuration does not produce adequate static point cloud when an occupant is sitting still.

Thanks,

Bing

Hello,

If you intention is to maintain tracking for people who are sitting, I would advise that you consider using the updated 3D people counting lab instead. http://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=AINQDBLWEvn7AE47v97xNg__VLyFKFf__LATEST

Note, the lab is intended for side mounted use case but you should try the demo to evaluate the static people tracking feature.

In the area scanner lab, the static object detection is currently limited to a specific range and the static point cloud is not being fed to the tracker. That is why there can be no points for a person when they are sitting still. The attached document detailing the cfg settings for the static commands can be found in the Industrial Toolbox under the automated doors demo (similar info will be added to the area scanner lab in the future). static_object_detection_notes.pdf
