Signs of life detection behind obstacles using an UWB radar sensor

The "Signs of life detection behind obstacles using an UWB radar sensor" dataset was created by University of West Attica, by collecting data from 9 people using an UWB sensor, which was the X4M200 UWB radar sensor by Novelda, with and without the existence of a wall between the subject and the radar for the purposes of RESCUER project (https://rescuerproject.eu/ - a Horizon 2020 Research & Innovation Programme under Grant Agreement No.101021836). In all cases, the subject was lying down in the same stance for about 1 min and the radar was placed in four different positions: a) 0.2 m from the ground, b) 0.5 m from the ground, c) 1 m from the ground, d) 1 m from the ground and with a 45 degree angle. For comparison purposes, we also include in the dataset the case where no human is present within the radar's detection area. The subjects were placed in a distance between 0.5 and 5 metres from the radar and different stances were considered, while data were collected both for the amplitude (designated as abs) and the phase of the signal (designated as angle). This information is designated in each filename. For example, the filename "2 facing radar abs.csv", indicates that the subject is placed in 2 metres away from the radar, he/she is facing the radar and the file contains the signal's amplitude. The sampling rate of the radar was set to 17 samples per second and a distance step of about 0.05144 m was also considered.
