Learning to Assess Heartbeat Observability for mmWave Heart-Rate Sensing
Quick summary
arXiv:2610.03570v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Contactless heart-rate sensing with millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar requires assessing whether individual measurements support reliable estimation. We study learning to assess heartbeat observability, defined as the readability of the heartbeat component in an acquired phase spectrum, for selective heart-rate estimation. Coherent superposition of scatterer returns can suppress this component even under similar macroscopic observation geometry, motivating assessment directly from acquired measurements. To obtain training supervision across differen

Why it matters
The value of this work lies as much in how it was tested as in the claim itself. Sample design, baselines, uncertainty and replication help separate a laboratory result from real-world impact.
