Capturing Features and Performing Human Detection from Human Gaits Using RFID

Recently, radio frequency identification (RFID) sensing has attracted much attention due to its contact-free nature, low cost, light weight and other advantages. RFID-based person detection has also become a hot research topic, but there are still some problems in the existing research. First, most of the current studies cannot identify numerous people at a time well. Second, in order to detect more accurately, it is necessary to evaluate the whole-body activity of a person, which will consume a lot of time to process the data and cannot be applied in time. To solve these problems, in this paper we propose RF-Detection, a person detection system using RFID. First of all, RF-Detection takes step length as the standard for person detection, divides step length into specific sections according to the relationship between step length and height, and achieves high accuracy for new user detection through a large amount of training for a specific step length. Secondly, RF-Detection can better identify the number of people in the same space by segmenting continuous people. Finally, the data collection was reduced by expanding the data set, and the deep learning method was used to further improve the accuracy. The results show that the overall recognition accuracy of RF-Detection is 98.93%.
