  • Abstract
    The paper deals with the problem of detecting, localizing and tracking individuals through the walls by means of radio-frequency based imaging techniques. The authors presents hereinafter a new imaging method for locating and tracking the position of hidden targets (e.g. human bodies in rescue missions) thanks to the use of a multi-sensor approach. A model-based signal processor has been also developed and tested. Numerical examples confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach and procedures.
