Abstract

At present, most Wi-Fi based sensing researches aim at single target scene, due to the difficulties in separation of mixed signals. In this paper, a Wi-Fi based model for multi-target activity recognition is proposed. A diverse dataset of sufficient volume for multi-target activity recognition is first collected in our paper. After blind source separation algorithm (FastICA) processing, the dataset is input to the proposed signal sort algorithm named CC-ICA for efficient and accurate signal sort according to CSI correlation coefficient. Experimental results show that CC-ICA algorithm can effectively solve the problem of random order caused by FastICA. Separated CSI data is input into a neural network consisting of ABiGRU and TCN for training and multi-target recognition evaluation. The experiments demonstrate that accuracy of WiMTAR is improved by 26% after CSI data is processed by CC-ICA for multi-target recognition, and accuracy of WiMTAR is also more than 2.6% higher than that of other single target recognition schemes.
