Wi Vi: Using wifi signals to sense human presence and activity
摘要：Wi-Fi 信号通常是发射器和接收器之间的信息载体。在本文中，我们展示了 Wi-Fi 还可以扩展我们的感官，使我们能够透过墙壁和关门看到移动的物体。特别是，我们可以利用这种信号来识别封闭房间内的人数及其相对位置。我们还可以识别墙后的简单手势，并结合一系列手势将信息传达给无线接收器，而无需携带任何传输设备。本文介绍了两个主要创新。首先，它展示了如何使用 MIMO 干扰消除来消除静态物体的反射并将接收器聚焦在移动目标上。其次，它展示了如何通过将人体的运动视为天线阵列并跟踪由此产生的射频波束来跟踪人体。我们通过构建来证明我们设计的有效性。论文链接：http://people.csail.mit
