contents This study proposes a sensing method using a millimeter-wave array radar and a depth camera to measure pulse waves at multiple sites on the human body. Using a three-dimensional shape model of the target human body measured by the depth camera, the method identifies reflection sites on the body through electromagnetic scattering simulation. On the basis of the simulation, the radar system can be positioned at a suitable location for measuring pulse waves depending on the posture of the target person. Through measurements using radar and depth camera systems, we demonstrate that the proposed method can estimate the body displacement waveform caused by pulse waves accurately, improving the accuracy by 14% compared with a conventional approach without a depth camera. The proposed method can be a key to realizing an accurate and noncontact sensor for monitoring blood pressure.
