Abstract
Human identification plays a vital role in daily lives. A majority of biometric technologies require the active cooperation of humans, while gait recognition does not. Compared with other identification technologies, radar-based technology can monitor the human body around the clock without being affected by light/weather, and is not easy to be forged while protecting privacy. Previous researches have revealed that gait signatures acquired using radar can be used for human identification, but there is almost no literature on the long-term stability of gait signatures. Due to the long-term interval observation, the human micro-Doppler will change according to the subject (such as slight differences in walking posture). In this study, a novel network is proposed to realise stable identification of humans by extracting long-term stable features. The micro-Doppler data is processed by a short-time Fourier transform and finally classified by the proposed neural network. Data acquisition was carried out within more than a month. The experimental results demonstrate that the recognition accuracy of the validation set can reach about 99%, and the recognition accuracy of the test set can reach 90% (improved 3% compared with the network without a recurrent neural network), showing the potential of the proposed method in long-term stable identification.

Abstract
Electrical impedance has shown itself to be useful in measuring the properties and characteristics of agri-food products: fruit quality, moisture content, the germination capacity in seeds or the frost-resistance of fruit. In the case of olives, it has been used to determine fat content and optimal harvest time. In this paper, a system based on the System on Chip (SoC) AD5933 running a 1024-point discrete Fourier transform (DFT) to return the impedance value as a magnitude and phase and which, working together with two ADG706 analog multiplexers and an external programmable clock based on a synthesized DDS in a FPGA XC3S250E-4VQG100C, allows for the impedance measurement in agri-food products with a frequency sweep from 1 Hz to 100 kHz. This paper demonstrates how electrical impedance is affected by the temperature both in freshly picked olives and in those processed in brine and provides a way to characterize cultivars by making use of only the electrical impedance, neural networks (NN) and the Internet of Things (IoT), allowing information to be collected from the olive samples analyzed both on farms and in factories.
