Simultaneous radar frequency/electro-optical tracking and characterisation of dismounts

摘要

This study discusses the fusion of radar frequency (RF) data and electro-optical (EO) data for tracking and characterisation of dismounts (i.e. humans). Each of these sensor modalities provides unique information about the location, structure and movement of a dismount. The person's location is tracked on the 2D ground plane using RF data for range measurements and EO data for angle measurements. Using this information, measurements are made on the structure and dynamic motion (gait) of the person. An imaging approach is used to create spatio-temporal activity maps along with a threedimensional reconstruction of the dismount.
