Sleep Monitoring
• Monitor respiration during sleep
• Contactless
• Detection and screening of obstructive sleep apnea
Multiple Reflection Correction
• Representation of received signal as complex number
• Errors caused by multiple reflections can be corrected
Signal Improvement
• Range map and intensity image linked by “shading
constraint”
• Substantial improvement in quality of range map
