Channel State Information (CSI) Analysis

What It Does: CSI measures how Wi-Fi signals are affected as they travel between a router and
connected devices.

How It's Used for Imaging:

The reflections, scattering, and absorption of signals caused by objects or people in the environment are
analyzed.

By capturing small changes in the signal over time, a system can detect motion and even reconstruct the
shape and location of objects or people.

2. Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) Monitoring

What It Does: RSSI measures the power of a Wi-Fi signal received by a device.

How It's Used for Imaging:

Variations in signal strength due to objects moving in the signal path are recorded.

Motion patterns, such as walking or gestures, can be interpreted by analyzing the changes in RSSI values.

3. Doppler Effect Analysis

What It Does: The Doppler effect occurs when a moving object shifts the frequency of Wi-Fi signals.

How It's Used for Imaging:

Changes in frequency caused by moving objects are analyzed to track motion.

This is particularly effective for detecting the speed and direction of movement.

4. Time of Flight (ToF) Measurement

What It Does: ToF measures the time it takes for a Wi-Fi signal to travel between a transmitter and
receiver.

How It's Used for Imaging:

By analyzing ToF data, a system can estimate the distance of objects or people from the router.

Repeated measurements can create a 3D map of the space, including the positions of moving objects.

5. Multipath Signal Propagation

What It Does: Wi-Fi signals bounce off surfaces, creating multiple signal paths.

How It's Used for Imaging:

The system analyzes these multiple paths to understand the shape and composition of objects in the
environment.

Motion causes changes in the multipath reflections, which can be tracked to identify moving objects.
6. Machine Learning Algorithms

What It Does: Machine learning models are trained to interpret Wi-Fi signal variations.

How It's Used for Imaging:

By combining data from CSI, RSSI, Doppler effects, and multipath signals, algorithms can create 2D or 3D
images of moving objects.

These systems can recognize human shapes, gestures, and even breathing patterns.

Applications in Residential Settings:

1. Motion Detection: Detecting movement without cameras, such as for security purposes.

2. Gesture Recognition: Enabling hands-free control of smart devices.

3. Health Monitoring: Tracking breathing and heart rates using signal variations.

4. Through-Wall Imaging: Creating low-resolution images of people or objects behind walls.

Mitigation Tips:

Reduce Signal Leakage: Shield your space with thick walls or metallic films.

Disable Unnecessary Wi-Fi Features: Turn off beamforming or advanced network features that improve
signal precision.

Use 5 GHz or 6 GHz Wi-Fi Bands: Higher frequencies are less effective for through-wall imaging.

Opt for Wired Connections: Minimize Wi-Fi usage in sensitive areas.

These mechanisms enable Wi-Fi signals to serve as a non-invasive tool for imaging and motion
detection, but they also raise concerns about privacy in residential environments.
