ISAC and Vision Fusion for Fine-Grained Low-Altitude Target Recognition

In this paper, we propose an integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) and vision fusion framework for fine-grained low-altitude target recognition. Specifically, we first utilize ISAC system to estimate the position of the low-altitude target. Then we adjust the working parameters of the Pan-TiltZoom (PTZ) camera based on the estimated target position, such that the camera can capture the image of tiny low-altitude target from several hundred meters away. After obtaining the wireless echo signal and visual image of low-altitude target, we employ the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) to obtain the micro-Doppler (mD) spectrum of the target from wireless echo signal, and design a conditional generative adversarial network (cGAN)-based denoising network to optimize the quality of the mD spectrum. Meanwhile, we employ YOLOv11 to detect the low-altitude target from visual image, and then crop the smallsized feature image of the target from the original image. Next, we design a fine-grained low-altitude target recognition network with MobileViT, which can fuse the optimized mD spectrum and the cropped feature image to distinguish the subcategory of low-altitude target. Moreover, we generate a joint ISAC and vision dataset (JIVD) for low-altitude target monitoring based on AirSim and Wireless InSite, which includes diverse target subcategories, scenarios, and weather conditions. The effectiveness and superiority of the proposed scheme have been demonstrated by simulation results.

Networked ISAC Enabled Target Recognition Towards Low-Altitude Economy

In this paper, we propose a low-altitude target (LAT) recognition scheme based on multi-base station (BS) collaboration and multi-scale feature fusion for integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) network. Firstly, we formulate the motion equations, echo channels, and echo signals for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), bird, vehicle, and pedestrian under multi-BS collaborative monitoring scenario. Then we extract the velocityresolution-preferred time-frequency spectrum, time-resolutionpreferred time-frequency spectrum, and the velocity-transfer time-frequency spectrum observed by each BS from echo signals. We collectively refer to these three types of time-frequency spectrum as the multi-scale feature of the LAT. Next, we design a multi-BS and multi-scale feature fusion enabled LAT recognition network with Swin Transformer, which employs the visualized images of multi-scale feature to jointly recognize the target through deep feature extraction, intra-BS feature interaction, inter-BS feature interaction, and target recognition output. We generate a massive echo signal dataset comprising 1,440,000 samples for LAT recognition within ISAC network. This dataset can serve as a public benchmark to evaluate our proposed scheme and facilitate future research. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme realizes high recognition accuracy and robust unseen-subtype generalization, confirming the effectiveness of multi-scale feature fusion and the additional gains brought by multi-BS collaboration.

AirGuard: UAV and Bird Recognition Scheme for Integrated Sensing and Communications System

In this paper, we propose an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and bird recognition scheme with signal processing and deep learning for integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) system. We first provide the basic scene of low-altitude targets monitoring, and formulate the motion equations and echo signals for UAVs and birds. Next, we extract the centralized micro-Doppler (cmD) spectrum and the high resolution range profile (HRRP) of the low-altitude target from the echo signals. Then we design a dual feature fusion enabled low-altitude target recognition network with convolutional neural network (CNN), which employs both the images of cmD spectrum and HRRP as inputs to jointly distinguish between UAV and bird. Meanwhile, we generate 237600 cmD and HRRP image samples to train, validate, and evaluate the designed low-altitude target recognition network. The proposed scheme is termed as AirGuard, whose effectiveness has been demonstrated by simulation results.

Integrated Sensing and Communications Framework for 6G Networks

In this paper, we propose a novel integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) framework for the sixth generation (6G) mobile networks, in which we decompose the real physical world into static environment, dynamic targets, and various object materials. The ubiquitous static environment occupies the vast majority of the physical world, for which we design static environment reconstruction (SER) scheme to obtain the layout and point cloud information of static buildings. The dynamic targets floating in static environments create the spatiotemporal transition of the physical world, for which we design comprehensive dynamic target sensing (DTS) scheme to detect, estimate, track, image and recognize the dynamic targets in real-time. The object materials enrich the electromagnetic laws of the physical world, for which we develop object material recognition (OMR) scheme to estimate the electromagnetic coefficient of the objects. Besides, to integrate these sensing functions into existing communications systems, we discuss the interference issues and corresponding solutions for ISAC cellular networks. Furthermore, we develop an ISAC hardware prototype platform that can reconstruct the environmental maps and sense the dynamic targets while maintaining communications services. With all these designs, the proposed ISAC framework can support multifarious emerging applications, such as digital twins, low altitude economy, internet of vehicles, marine management, deformation monitoring, etc.

Environment Reconstruction based on Multi-User Selection and Multi-Modal Fusion in ISAC

Integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) has been deemed as a key technology for the sixth generation (6G) wireless communications systems. In this paper, we explore the inherent clustered nature of wireless users and design a multi-user based environment reconstruction scheme. Specifically, we first select users based on the estimation precision of channel's multipath, including the line-of-sight (LOS) and the non-line-of-sight (NLOS) paths, to enhance the accuracy of environment reconstruction. Then, we develop a fusion strategy that merges communications signalling with camera image to increase the accuracy and robustness of environment reconstruction. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can achieve a remarkable sensing accuracy of centimeter level, which is about 17 times better than the scheme without user selection. Meanwhile, the fusion of communications data and vision data leads to a threefold accuracy improvement over the image only method, especially under challenging weather conditions like raining and snowing.
