Abstract :
In this paper, we present a technique for simulating time-varying, high range-resolution profiles of human motions behind inhomogeneous walls. This technique combines primitive based modeling of humans with wall simulation models generated using the finite difference time domain technique. Simulated range profiles of a walking human in free space and behind a reinforced concrete wall are presented.
