本文提出mmFlux:一种利用商用毫米波雷达提取人群运动模式并推断语义的新框架。首先,信号处理流程融合计算机视觉中的光流估计思想,结合新颖的统计与形态学噪声过滤,生成高保真毫米波流动场——即人群运动的紧凑二维矢量表示。随后,我们提出将这些流动场转换为有向几何图的方法:边表示主导流动方向,顶点标识人流分叉或汇合点,边上的流量分布可被定量刻画。最后,通过分析局部雅可比矩阵,计算其旋度与散度,成功提取结构化与弥散型人群的关键语义信息。我们在三个区域对最多20人的群体进行了21组实验。结果表明,该框架能高保真重建复杂人群流动结构,具有强空间对齐性及精确的流动分裂比例量化能力。旋度与散度分析准确识别出急转弯、流向突变边界、扩散与聚集等关键行为。整体验证了mmFlux的有效性,展现了其在各类人群分析应用中的潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In this paper, we present mmFlux: a novel framework for extracting underlying crowd motion patterns and inferring crowd semantics using mmWave radar. First, our proposed signal processing pipeline combines optical flow estimation concepts from vision with novel statistical and morphological noise filtering. This approach generates high-fidelity mmWave flow fields-compact 2D vector representations of crowd motion. We then introduce a novel approach that transforms these fields into directed geometric graphs. In these graphs, edges capture dominant flow currents, vertices mark crowd splitting or merging, and flow distribution is quantified across edges. Finally, we show that analyzing the local Jacobian and computing the corresponding curl and divergence enables extraction of key crowd semantics for both structured and diffused crowds. We conduct 21 experiments on crowds of up to 20 people across 3 areas, using commodity mmWave radar. Our framework achieves high-fidelity graph reconstruction of the underlying flow structure, even for complex crowd patterns, demonstrating strong spatial alignment and precise quantitative characterization of flow split ratios. Finally, our curl and divergence analysis accurately infers key crowd semantics, e.g., abrupt turns, boundaries where flow directions shift, dispersions, and gatherings. Overall, these findings validate mmFlux, underscoring its potential for various crowd analytics applications.
