Estimating method and estimating device
Complex transfer functions indicating characteristics of propagation between transmission antenna elements and N reception antenna elements are calculated from reception signals received by the N reception antenna elements during a predetermined period. Components affected by vital activity are extracted from the calculated complex transfer functions. A correlation matrix is calculated from changed components affected by vital activity. A steering vector for regions divided from a target region is calculated. A living-body signal intensity vector is estimated by performing compressed sensing for an unknown value that is the living-body signal intensity vector using a correlation matrix vector and an extended steering vector. The number of components constituting the living-body signal intensity vector and having a value of at least a predetermined threshold is estimated to be the number of living bodies, and positions of regions corresponding to the components are estimated to be estimated positions of the living bodies.
