What did you personally accomplish this week on the project?

This week, I acquired the DCA1000EVM board and tested it with the AWR1843 radar, allowing real-time ADC samples to be collected easily and more versatilely processed into 3D range-azimuth-doppler maps that fit in with our ML architecture. After passing an exam, I also obtained a part 107 license to fly the drone. Although our system can be tested without a drone, our project is designed for drones and we would like to use drones for the demo. It is also important that the system can detect humans from the perspective of a drone (although stationary, it experiences more perturbations in motion even when hovering, compared to testing without a drone) looking downward at humans from several meters above, along with Doppler noise from the wind and moving objects in the environment that are not available at ground level.

Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will betaken to catch up to the project schedule?

Progress is on schedule after receiving the green board.

What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?

  • Sensor fusion of GPS and IMU data with radar data
  • Test methods of increasing resolution of radar data
  • Begin integrating radar with drone
