Abstract

An embodiment method includes: receiving radar data at a millimeter-wave radar sensor, the radar data being generated in response to an incident radio-frequency signal reflecting off an object located in a field of view of the millimeter-wave radar sensor; filtering the radar data to generate a first-filtered signal; determining a trajectory of motion corresponding to the first-filtered signal; and determining whether the trajectory of motion corresponds to a human signature, the human signature being associated with a respective operation of a vehicle.
