Abstract:To address the performance limitations, robustness limitations, and high computational complexity of existing millimeter-wave radar human action recognition methods, which rely on keypoint extraction or fixed-frame fusion strategies, a human action recognition method based on a PointNextMamba joint network is proposed. This method processes the raw millimeter-wave radar signal, generates and dynamically fuses multi-frame point clouds, and utilizes the PointNextMamba network to extract spatiotemporal features and perform classification. Compared with two-stage methods, this method avoids reliance on intermediate representations. Compared with other one-stage methods, it improves robustness in dynamic scenes and the ability to capture detailed features while reducing computational complexity. Compared with the o(n2) time complexity of the UWB-PointTransformer, this method has a time complexity of o(n), resulting in a fivefold increase in average inference speed on a GPU. Ablation experiments on the Vayyar dataset and real-world scenario testing demonstrate that this method outperforms existing methods in both recognition accuracy and efficiency, effectively meeting the real-time and robustness requirements of practical applications.
