Abstract
Systems and methods for determining fine grain motions and vibrations of live and/or inanimate objects are described based on using a radar system. For example, biometric information may be extracted from such vibrations associated with a live object. In different embodiments, processing circuitry may perform different statistical analysis on reflections from the objects. Moreover, the processing circuitry may perform different processing functions based on the statistical analysis to determine the vibrations with high accuracy. Furthermore, the processing circuitry may also select one or multiple target maps based on a field of view of the radar system for a more robust measurement of the vibrations associated with one or multiple objects.
