도플러 레이더 기반 차량 운전자의 심박 및 호흡 신호 검출 기법 연구

Purpose: In this paper, we propose an algorithm for detecting respiratory rate and heart beat of a driver of car by exploiting Doppler radar, and verifying the feasibility of the study through experiments. Method: In this paper, we propose a weighted peak detection technique using peak frequency values. The tests are performed in stop-state and driving-state, and the experiment result is analyzed by two proposed algorithms. Result: The results showed more than 95% and 96% accuracy of respiratory and heart rate, respectively. It also showed more than 72% and 84% accuracy of those even for driving experiments. Conclusion: The proposed detection scheme for vital signs can be used for the safety of the driver as well as for prevention of a large size of car accidents.
