mmGAT: Pose Estimation by Graph Attention with Mutual Features from mmWave Radar Point Cloud

Pose estimation and human action recognition (HAR) are pivotal technologies spanning various domains. While the image-based pose estimation and HAR are widely admired for their superior performance, they lack in privacy protection and suboptimal performance in low-light and dark environments. This paper exploits the capabilities of millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar technology for human pose estimation by processing radar data with Graph Neural Network (GNN) architecture, coupled with the attention mechanism. Our goal is to capture the finer details of the radar point cloud to improve the pose estimation performance. To this end, we present a unique feature extraction technique that exploits the full potential of the GNN processing method for pose estimation. Our model mmGAT demonstrates remarkable performance on two publicly available benchmark mmWave datasets and establishes new state of the art results in most scenarios in terms of human pose estimation. Our approach achieves a noteworthy reduction of pose estimation mean per joint position error (MPJPE) by 35.6% and PA-MPJPE by 14.1% from the current state of the art benchmark within this domain.

PCFEx: Point Cloud Feature Extraction for Graph Neural Networks

Graph neural networks (GNNs) have gained significant attention for their effectiveness across various domains. This study focuses on applying GNN to process 3D point cloud data for human pose estimation (HPE) and human activity recognition (HAR). We propose novel point cloud feature extraction (PCFEx) techniques to capture meaningful information at the point, edge, and graph levels of the point cloud by considering point cloud as a graph. Moreover, we introduce a GNN architecture designed to efficiently process these features. Our approach is evaluated on four most popular publicly available millimeter wave radar datasets, three for HPE and one for HAR. The results show substantial improvements, with significantly reduced errors in all three HPE benchmarks, and an overall accuracy of 98.8% in mmWave-based HAR, outperforming the existing state of the art models. This work demonstrates the great potential of feature extraction incorporated with GNN modeling approach to enhance the precision of point cloud processing.

A Deep Transfer Learning-Based Low-overhead Beam Prediction in Vehicle Communications

Existing transfer learning-based beam prediction approaches primarily rely on simple fine-tuning. When there is a significant difference in data distribution between the target domain and the source domain, simple fine-tuning limits the model's performance in the target domain. To tackle this problem, we propose a transfer learning-based beam prediction method that combines fine-tuning with domain adaptation. We integrate a domain classifier into fine-tuning the pre-trained model. The model extracts domain-invariant features in adversarial training with domain classifier, which can enhance model performance in the target domain. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed transfer learning-based beam prediction method achieves better achievable rate performance than the pure fine-tuning method in the target domain, and close to those when the training is done from scratch on the target domain.
