Course Description
Welcome to our one-of-its-kind course on “Human Activity Recognition using Radars”, where we will explore how cutting-edge radar technology recognizes your daily living activities. In this course, the participants will learn the potential of radar systems for the classification of different human activities. This is an accelerated course that aims to impart a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental principles of radar systems for human activity recognition and other real-world applications. The course opens with the basics of radars and a simplified introduction to signal processing. This introduction will further delve into core concepts of signal processing, real-world applications of radar technology, and the basics of activity recognition using radars. The challenges and the emerging trends in this field will also be discussed. An introduction to machine learning-based techniques and a glimpse into the world of artificial intelligence will also be given to the participants. This will provide the participants with a head-start in the trending world of artificial intelligence. This intensive 5-day course will be a combination of lectures with hands-on sessions. A hands-on session on real-time data processing and implementation of machine learning algorithms will be provided to the participants. At the end of the course, a fun project will be given to the participants where they have to recognize the activity done by their partners without actually looking at them. Prior knowledge of signal processing and machine learning is not mandatory. Enthusiastic learners with a passion for technology (and coding) are encouraged to join. Embark on this 5-day journey and learn all about activity recognition using radars. Join us in unraveling the full potential of radar systems for classifying human activities.
