Abstract :
The paper deals with the problem of through-the-wall detecting, localizing and tracking moving targets by means of radio-frequency imaging. In particular, the authors present hereinafter a new method capable of locating and tracking the position of hidden targets (e.g. human bodies in rescue missions) thanks to the use of multisensor system and a proper linear inversion scheme. Preliminary results obtained in numerical tests confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach and measurement strategies.
