Abstract

This paper describes an approach to detect, localize, and track moving, non-cooperative objects by exploiting multipath propagation. In a network of spatially distributed transmitting and receiving nodes, moving objects appear as discrete mobile scatterers. Therefore, the localization of mobile scatterers is formulated as a nonlinear optimization problem. An iterative nonlinear least squares algorithm following Levenberg and Marquard is used for solving the optimization problem initially, and an extended Kalman filter is used for estimating the scatterer location recursively over time. The corresponding performance bounds are derived for both the snapshot based position estimation and the nonlinear sequential Bayesian estimation with the classic and the posterior Cramér-Rao lower bound. Thereby, a comparison of simulation results to the posterior Cramér-Rao lower bound confirms the applicability of the extended Kalman filter. % for an outdoor scenario. The proposed approach is applied to estimate the position of a walking pedestrian sequentially based on wideband measurement data in an outdoor scenario. The evaluation shows, that the pedestrian can be localized throughout the scenario with an accuracy of 0.8m at 90% confidence.
