The physiological characteristics of the radar signal are analyzed in a time-frequency spectrum, and features are proposed based on these characteristics for multi-passenger occupancy detection. After clutter removal is applied, the spectral power and Wiener entropy are proposed as features to quantify physiological movements arising from breathing and heartbeat. Using the average means of both the power and Wiener entropy at seats 1 and 2, the feature distributions are expressed, and classification is performed. The multi-passenger occupancy detection performance is evaluated using linear discriminant analysis and maximum likelihood estimation. The results indicate that the proposed power and Wiener entropy are effective features for multi-passenger occupancy detection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e23111472","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,8]],"date-time":"2021-11-08T08:05:16Z","timestamp":1636358716000},"page":"1472","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Single-Channel FMCW-Radar-Based Multi-Passenger Occupancy Detection Inside Vehicle"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Heemang","family":"Song","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Software Convergence, Soongsil University, Seoul 06978, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hyun-Chool","family":"Shin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Software Convergence, Soongsil University, Seoul 06978, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"178","DOI":"10.1016\/j.proeng.2012.09.113","article-title":"Development of an antenna sensor for occupant detection in passenger transportation","volume":"47","author":"Sterner","year":"2012","journal-title":"Procedia Eng."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Aiello, V., Borazjani, P.N., Battista, E., and Albanese, M.
