Micro-doppler classification of humans and animals using FMCW radar by Manga, Amisha

“…Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was employed as the method for data reduction. The dataset was subsequently classified and evaluated across various target class configurations, comparing both the full dataset and its PCA-reduced versions, using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN), Random Forest (RF) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) models. …”
