Fine-Grained Respiratory Waveform Reconstruction with mmWave Radar by VMD and Lightweight CNN-BiGRU-AT Hybrid Network
摘要
This paper presents a lightweight neural network framework integrating variational mode decomposition (VMD) and CNN-BiGRU-Attention for accurate respiratory waveform reconstruction from millimeter-wave radar signals. The method first applies VMD to decompose preprocessed phase signals into intrinsic mode functions, isolating respiratory components while suppressing motion artifacts and noise. These components are then processed through a compact network architecture that combines multi-scale feature extraction, bidirectional temporal modeling, and attention-based feature weighting. Experimental results demonstrate excellent performance with a Pearson correlation of 0.952, respiratory rate MAE of 0.208 bpm, and precise waveform localization (peak timestamps error: 0.109 s, valley timestamps error: 0.210 s) while maintaining minimal computational complexity (0.054 M parameters). The proposed approach achieves an optimal accuracy-efficiency balance, enabling practical non-contact respiratory monitoring in complex environments.
