Detection, localization and tracking of human postures by a coherent radar.

Abstract

A method for detecting the posture of an individual comprising the steps of: [100] continuously emitting coherent signals, [200] continuously collecting the echoes of the signals emitted in step [100] and extracting the corresponding beat signals, [300] extracting from said beat signals the distance-Doppler signals, [400] assigning each potential target a 3D position, [500] determining whether the potential target corresponds to the presence of an individual and assigning it a state if so, characterized in that step [500] comprises a step [520] consisting of using a statistical test to compare the distribution of the potential targets to a reference distribution.
