Lightweight yet physically consistent propagation models are therefore critical for efficient generation of realistic RF sensing data. This paper presents an RF sensing prediction approach for indoor environments based on a Body of Revolution (BoR) human model. A fast 2.5-Dimensional Finite Element Method (2.5-D FEM) is proposed for computing the scattering fields of a human-like BoR model under the excitation of a vertical polarized dipole. Through comparisons, the proposed BoR model is shown to preserve scattering characteristics close to 3-D human bodies while yielding a smaller computational cost compared to a simple cylindrical model. A measurement-driven background-field modeling approach is further introduced for practical indoor applications, accounting for the complex propagation effects of indoor environments implicitly. Comparing with measurements of a typical indoor DFL scenario, the proposed approach achieves approximately 85% prediction accuracy and reproduces the spatial Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) variations observed in practice, proving its potential for RF sensing prediction and large-scale database generation at a fraction of the computational cost required for full-wave simulations.","short_abstract":"Model training for Device-Free Localization (DFL) and Radio-Frequency (RF) sensing systems heavily relies on large-scale datasets, which are costly and time-consuming to obtain through measurements across different environments and sensing configurations.
