Abstract

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, gesture recognition has become the focus of many countries for research. Gesture recognition using Wi-Fi signals has become the mainstream of gesture recognition because it does not require additional equipment and lighting conditions. Firstly, how to extract useful gesture signals in a complex indoor environment. In this paper, after de-noising the signal by Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) technology, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is used to eliminate the problem of signal redundancy between multiple CSI subcarriers, further to remove noise. Secondly, the frequency domain features of the gesture signal are constructed by performing Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) on the denoised CSI amplitude signal. Then, the time domain features are combined with the frequency domain features, and the features are trained and classified using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification method to complete the training and recognition of gesture. The experimental results show that this paper can effectively identify gestures in complex indoor environments.
