<![CDATA[One major difficulty in pervasive computing is trapped human detection in search and rescue (SAR) scenarios. Accurately identifying trapped individuals is challenging due to noisy data and the curse of dimensionality. When non-line-of-sight (NLOS) conditions are present during catastrophic occurrences, the curse of dimensionality can result in blind spots in detections because of noise and uncorrelated data. Because machine learning algorithms are incredibly accurate, this work focuses on using ultra wideband (UWB) radar waves to detect individuals in NLOS scenarios and leveraging wireless communication to harmonize information. The paper uses ensemble methods to extract features using independent component analysis (ICA) and evaluate classification performance on both static and dynamic datasets. The testing results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed strategy, with classification accuracies of 87.20% for dynamic data and 88.00% for static data. Lastly, during SAR operations, our approach can assist engineers and scientists in making quick decisions.]]>
