Ongoing Projects

3D Bounding Box Estimation using mmWave Radar

mmWave is resillient to adverse weathers such as raining, snowing, and foggy. It is interesting while challenging to generate accurate 3D bbox using the sparse point cloud from mmWave radars.

UWB NLOS Identification

Ultrawide-band raning in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) propagation is biased due to the diiferent propagation speed going through walls. Identifying the ranging results in NLOS conditions could improve the robustness of UWB localization.
