This invention proposes a single-
station localization method for non-line-of-
sight targets based on angle-constrained
back projection, aiming to solve the problems of low localization accuracy and
low noise tolerance for non-line-of-
sight targets in complex environments. Applied to the field of non-line-of-
sight target detection technology, this method addresses the limitations of traditional
back projection imaging algorithms. These algorithms are constrained by underlying time
delay compensation and coherent accumulation mechanisms, requiring large-span physical spatial view diversity to overcome the
azimuth resolution
bottleneck. Furthermore, in complex environments, they are highly susceptible to background
clutter and multipath sidelobe interference, and face the challenge of blind correlation due to the unknown mapping relationship between multipath signals and physical
reflective surfaces. This method first introduces an angle-of-arrival constraint to limit the spatial imaging range of the
back projection algorithm, obtaining a grid
energy spectrum for multipath energy focusing. Subsequently, by executing a local extremum optimization strategy in the
image domain,
clutter and multipath sidelobe interference in the
energy spectrum are accurately removed, and spatial discrete
imaging feature points with strong
multipath interference are extracted with high confidence. Finally, the
system introduces a building
layout map as a spatial topological constraint prior. Based on the aforementioned feature points, it constructs and traverses the association assumptions between multipaths and physical walls to perform a mirror-inverse mapping of the propagation link, and optimizes global coherence energy within the solution space, thereby accurately resolving the final physical location coordinates of non-line-of-sight targets. This effectively overcomes the challenges of blind association and limited physical aperture.
