The invention discloses a life
signal feature extraction method based on line spectrum tracking. The life
signal feature extraction method includes the steps that modeling is performed on a target chest motion; N frequency-modulated signals are continuously transmitted by a
radar,
frequency mixing is performed on echo signals to obtain an IF
signal and obtain a target phase, and a phase vector phiof length N is formed; STFT is performed on phi to obtain a time-
frequency spectrum matrix P<s>; a first HMM model gamma <1> is constructed; the P <s> is divided into Q groups, each group of data isused as an observed quantity sequence, and a
Viterbi algorithm is adopted to calculate an optimal
state sequence corresponding to the gamma <1> observed quantity sequences to obtain frequency units inwhich the
breathing frequency is located at each moment; elements of multiple
harmonic components, corresponding to the
breathing frequency, in the P<s> are set to be zero, a second time-
frequency spectrum matrix P'<s> is obtained, and a second HMM model gamma <2> is constructed; and the P'<s> is divided into Q groups, each group of data is used as an observed quantity sequence, and the
Viterbi algorithm is adopted to calculate an optimal
state sequence corresponding to the gamma <2> observed quantity sequences to obtain frequency units in which the
heartbeat frequency is located at each moment. According to the life signal
feature extraction method based on line spectrum tracking, the
breathing frequency and
heartbeat frequency of a target can be accurately extracted without contact.
