Presentation Overview

  • We propose designing an electromagnetic

scattering simulator

  • This proposal will include the following:

○ Background ○ Project Overview ○ Design Concepts ■ Including an overview of our parts ○ Specifications ○ Broad plans to accomplish this goal including: ■ Budget and risk analysis

Background

  • Tracking humans by radar is an important

and a common method

○ Radar can track in rain, dust and smoke

  • Create sensors that use radar technologies
  • EM scattering simulations that model radar

scattering are readily available

  • Monitoring "human movement"

Project Overview

  • Automating steps in the analyzing of a

person's walk

  • The XBox Kinect enables engineers to track

human movement in a variety of ways

○ Gestures and motions

  • Microsoft enabled the Kinect to be open for

developers and engineers

  • Interface with a microcontroller (Pandaboard

ES)

Design Requirements

  • Small and portable
  • Needs to be be enclosed
  • The motion sensing device (Kinect) needs to

interface with a micro-controller via USB

  • Microcontroller will send data by a standard

network protocol (Ethernet, 802.11, bluetooth)

  • Identify humans and characteristics

automatically

  • Implement algorithms to plot data

Kinect Overview

  • Launched in 2010
  • PrimeSense technology
  • Not just for Xbox
  • Affordable
  • Reliable measurements
  • Microsoft SDK

Kinect Specifications

  • VGA camera (640x480)
  • Infrared camera (320x240)
  • Uses structured light to collect depth

information

  • Range of 1 to 4 meters
  • No calibration needed
  • Voice recognition
  • Can differentiate between multiple people

PandaBoard ES

  • Provides the required processing power
  • 4.5" by 4"
  • Boots Linux
  • Ethernet, 802.11,

Bluetooth, USB, microSD

  • Cheap solution for our

project requirements

Human Detection

  • Kinect has built in

skeleton frame detection

  • OpenKinect

○ LED ○ Tilt

  • OpenNI

○ Get skeleton ○ Get joint positions

Management

  • Three different sub-projects

○ Hardware and power ○ Microcomputer software ○ PC software

  • Teams will be allocated first on projected

need

  • Resources will be shifted as needed

Risks

  • Near top of budget
  • Potential very complex algorithms
  • Possible power supply issues

Summary

  • Need for radar system
  • Small and portable
  • Using an Xbox Kinect and PandaBoard
  • Software to automatically detect humans

and their characteristics

  • Close to maximum budget
  • Few foreseen risks in design
