Abstract

Localization of non-line-of-sight (NLOS) targets in the complex urban environment have attracted significant attention in recent years. However, the requirement for precise prior information about the environment is idealistic. It is challenging to know the environmental information in the blind area of vision in advance of practical applications. This paper proposes a joint estimation algorithm for building layout and target position in the L-shaped scene without any prior information. Specifically, a round-trip multipath propagation model is first developed for the cases of diffraction and multiple reflections. Then, the received echo signal is preprocessed with moving target identification (MTI), back-projection (BP) imaging, and image segmentation. In addition, the target points, which are screened by geometric association, are further matched and estimated by the multipath ghost’s hypothesis method, thus realizing the joint perceptual estimation of the building layout and the target position. Finally, electromagnetic (EM) simulations and experimental measurements are used to validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
