Abstract

The present application is directed to a video-based motion extraction system that uses mmWave imaging. In one example, an object velocity is extracted in real time from at least one motion vector obtained from a compressed video. The velocity information is combined with distance information obtained from a distance sensor. The combination of distance and velocity is used to calculate a position of the object at each time instance. A velocity profile may be generated. The velocity profile may then be used to reconstruct an image of an object passing in front of an mmWave antenna array.
