3D Object Shape Characterization Using Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) Network

Futu re wirele ss networks are expected to provide not only communication servic es but also sensing capabilities, enabling applications such as smart factories, autonomous systems, digital twins, security monitoring, and environmental awareness. While conventional sensing systems often rely on a single sensing node, distributed sensing networks offer the possibility to observe an object simultaneously from multiple viewpoints. By combining measurements from geographically separated sensing nodes, it becomes possible to recover richer spatial information about a target. Such multi-view sensing can potentially reveal: Object dimensions , g eometric shape and s urface characteristics . These capabilities are particularly important for future 6G services which include i ntegrated s ensing and c ommunication ( ISAC ), where distributed infrastructure may act collectively as a sensing network. The objective of this internship is to investigate and develop algorithms for identifying the shape and size of objects from multiple sensing viewpoints in a distributed sensing environment. The student will explore how measurements collected from spatially separated sensing nodes can be fused to generate a consistent representation of an observed object and estimate its geometric properties . The internship will address : How much information about an object's shape can be extracted from multiple sensing perspectives? What sensing features are most informative for object characterization? Such as r ange , Doppler , a ngle of a rrival (AoA) , r eflection coefficient . What accuracy can be achieved in estimating: Object length, width and height.
