contents The rising demand for detecting hazardous situations has led to increased interest in radar-based human activity recognition (HAR). Conventional radar-based HAR methods predominantly rely on micro-Doppler spectrograms for recognition tasks. However, conventional spectrograms employ a fixed resolution regardless of the varying characteristics of human activities, leading to limited representation of micro-Doppler signatures. To address this limitation, we propose a time-frequency domain representation method that adaptively adjusts the resolution based on activity characteristics. This approach adaptively adjusts the spectrogram resolution in a nonlinear manner, emphasizing frequency ranges that vary with activity intensity and are critical to capturing micro-Doppler signatures. We validate the proposed method by training deep learning-based HAR models on datasets generated using our adaptive representation. Experimental results demonstrate that models trained with our method achieve superior recognition accuracy compared to those trained with conventional methods.
