Implementation of Machine Learning Algorithm for Radar-Based Hand Gesture Recognition

Hand gesture recognition (HGR) is the process of identifying and interpreting hand gestures to control or interact with electronic devices. In this project, a Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar-based HGR is developed utilising Range-Doppler maps (RDMs). For this purpose, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is implemented to classify different hand gestures. Each gesture that is fed to the network, contains a maximum of 12 frames, merged into a single image with a duration of 3 seconds. The dataset for training, validation, and offline test contains five different hand gestures along with Out-of-Distribution (OOD) samples, totalling 3235 data. The dataset was gathered in a confined environment with two participants, within a distance ranging from 0.2 m to 0.5 m. During training, the proposed system attained an accuracy of 95.91%, and 95.83% during training and validation, respectively. The system was also evaluated offline, achieving an accuracy of 96.99%.  One objective of this project was to incorporate real-time functionality. In real-time testing, the system achieved 95% accuracy with a prediction time of 25 ms.
