Object Detection using mmWave Sensors

This project explores the feasibility of implementing object detection through the use of millimetre-wave (mmWave) sensors for the LISA department of the University of Twente, and in collaboration with the company Let Things Talk (LTT) which has provided the hardware. The increasing use of this technology across different sectors prompted for further research into their potential applications, and the LISA department wanted to assess their suitability to help optimise space management. To this end, in this project we developed a proof-of-concept system which shows promising results. Using a single mmWave sensor, we have configured a scalable API interface that can provide the client with detected zones based on object presence (i.e. tables), and track their movement with time.

CS: Design Project

The CS Design Project module is one of the two final modules of the Bachelor. In the design component of this module, students show that they master the entire design trajectory, from the first informal specification of requirements by a client to the delivery and presentation of a well-documented working product. Projects are submitted by clients from either inside or outside the University. Students perform the project in groups of 3-5 students under the supervision of a teacher from the Department of Computer Science. The supervisor is also the one who assesses the process and products of the group. Project deliverables include a project proposal, a design report, a presentation and a poster.
