Figure | Working principle of the intelligent metasurface. a, an illustrative scenario for monitoring peoples in a typical indoor environment in a smart, real-time and inexpensive way, where the intelligent metasurface decorated as a part of wall is used to adaptively manipulate ambient Wi-Fi signals. b, The schematic configuration of intelligent metasurface system by coming a large-aperture programmable metasurface for manipulating and sampling the EM wavefields adaptively with artificial neural networks (ANNs) for controlling and processing the data flow instantly. The intelligent metasurface has two operational modes: active and passive modes. In the active mode, the intelligent system has a transmitting antenna and a receiving antenna. In the passive mode, the intelligent system has a pair of receiving antennas. (c), Microwave data processing flow by using deep learning CNNs. In (c), the microwave data are processed with IM-CNN-1to form the image of the whole human body. Then, the Faster R-CNN is performed to find the region of interest (ROI) from the whole image, for instance, the chest for respiration monitoring, and the hand for sign language recognition. Afterwards, the G-S algorithm is used to find the coding sequence for controlling the programmable metasurface such that its associated radiation beams can be focused toward the desirable spot. IM-CNN-2 processes microwave data to recognize the hand sign; and the human breathing is identified by the time-frequency analysis of microwave data.
