and step 110, determining distance information and angle information of echo signals in the target detection region, and constructing a distance-angle spectrogram.

The target detection area can be a position area within a preset distance of the front side of the radar device, the preset distance is not specifically limited, and the target detection area can be determined according to actual requirements. In the embodiment of the present invention, the preset distance may be the first N distance units, the target detection may be performed based on the first N distance units, and other targets and actions exceeding the target detection area may be regarded as invalid targets. The radar device can include transmitting antenna and receiving antenna, and transmitting antenna can send the electromagnetic wave signal of frequency modulation continuous wave form to current environment in, can send to in the target detection region certainly, and the object in the target detection region can carry out the scattering to the electromagnetic wave signal and obtains the scattering echo, and receiving antenna can receive aforementioned scattering echo, further obtains echo signal.

Specifically, the gesture in the target detection region may scatter an electromagnetic wave signal sent by the transmitting antenna to obtain a scattering echo, and the receiving antenna may receive the scattering echo to further obtain an echo signal. The echo signal can be a three-dimensional data cubic signal of a fast time dimension, a slow time dimension and an antenna dimension.

It should be noted that the number of signal sources may be two. Specifically, a covariance matrix of the echo signal can be constructed according to the formula (1), eigenvalue decomposition is performed on the covariance matrix according to the formula (2), and a distance-angle spectrogram is determined according to the formula (3):

where N represents the number of range cells.

Further, after determining the centroid information, a position of the centroid information may be determined in the distance-angle spectrogram, an angle value θ with a maximum spectral value in the angle spectrogram is found near a position corresponding to the centroid information, and the angle value θ with the maximum spectral value is determined as a gesture angle, and specifically, the gesture angle may be determined according to formula (5):

where v represents the angle value and Q represents the distance unit.

The current sliding window may be determined according to actual requirements, which is not specifically limited herein, and in the embodiment of the present invention, the length of the sliding window may be set to 0.6 second.

Specifically, the single frame detection may be performed on the target detection area multiple times, each time the centroid variance is determined, and the centroid variance is compared with the preset centroid variance multiple times, if the centroid variance is less than the preset centroid variance, the gesture type may be determined as a continuous action, and if the centroid variance is greater than or equal to the preset centroid variance, the gesture type may be determined as a single action.
