contents In this paper, the problem of formulating effective processing pipelines for indoor human tracking is investigated, with the usage of a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar. Specifically, two processing pipelines starting with detections on the Range-Azimuth (RA) maps and the Range-Doppler (RD) maps are formulated and compared, together with subsequent clustering and tracking algorithms and their relevant parameters. Experimental results are presented to validate and assess both pipelines, using a 24 GHz commercial radar platform with 250 MHz bandwidth and 15 virtual channels. Scenarios where 1 and 2 people move in an indoor environment are considered, and the influence of the number of virtual channels and detectors' parameters is discussed. The characteristics and limitations of both pipelines are presented, with the approach based on detections on RA maps showing in general more robust results.
