INTRODUCTION:
o Wi-Vi, Wireless Vision or Wi-Fi vision, is a see-throughwall device that employs Wi-Fi signals in the 2.4Gz ISM
band.
o It identifies number of people, their locations and motion
in a closed room.
It can be used for gesture-based communication
without any transmitter.
PRINCIPLE:
It uses the principle:
RF signals can traverse a wall and reflect off objects
behind to wall and reach back the transmitter.
The reflected back signal is imprinted with the signature
of the reflectors.
This is similar to radar and sonar imaging.
DESIGN:
Wi-Vi uses Wi-Fi OFDM signals in the ISM band (at 2.4GHz) and
typical Wi-Fi hardware.
It is a 3-antenna MIMO device : two of the antennas being
transmitters and the other a receiver.
It also employs directional antennas to focus the energy toward the
wall or room of interest.
Its design incorporates two main components:
1. The rst component eliminates the ash reected off the wall.
2. The second component tracks a moving object by treating the
object itself as an antenna array.
FLASH EFFECT:
Transmitted RF signals through a wall, get reflected not
only from behind the wall objects but also from the wall.
These are much stronger and prevent ADC from
registering the minute variations due to reflections from
behind the wall.
This is known as FLASH EFFECT.
OPERATION:
Wi-Vi is operated in two modes:
In mode1, it can be used to image moving objects behind a wall
and track them.
In mode2, Wi-Vi functions as a gesture-based interface from
behind a wall that enables humans to compose messages and send
them to the Wi-Vi receiver.
Wi-Vi operation uses two basic techniques:
1. MIMO based Nulling to eliminate flash effect
2. Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) for tracking human
motion
TRACKING HUMANS:
Wi-Vi uses Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar, ISAR technique for
tracking humans behind the wall.
It has one receive antenna that captures one single measurement
at any point of time.
As the target moves, he/she samples the received signal at
successive locations in space corresponding to successive spatial
locations of the moving target.
Wi-Vi emulates an antenna array and uses it to track motion
behind the wall.

GESTURE-BASED COMMUNICATION:
Wi-Vi enables a human who does not carry any wireless
device to communicate commands or short messages to a
receiver using simple gestures.
It designates a pair of gestures as a 0 bit and a 1 bit.
A human can compose these gestures to create messages that
have different interpretations.
Gesture Encoding:
Gestures are encoded using any scheme such that:
The gestures must be composable i.e. at the end of each bit the human
should be back in the same initial state as the start of the gesture
The gestures must be simple so that a human nds it easy to perform
them and compose them.
The gestures should be easy to detect and decode without requiring
sophisticated decoders.
Here a 0 bit is a step forward followed by a step backward; a
1 bit is a step backward followed by a step forward. This modulation is
similar to Manchester encoding.
Gesture Decoding:
Since each bit is a combination of two steps, forward,
Wi-Vi applies two matched lters: one for the step forward
and one for the step backward.
Next, Wi- Vi uses a standard peak detector to detect the
peaks/troughs and match them to the corresponding bits.
