Electromagnetic tracking of transceiver-free targets in wireless networked environments

In this work, the exploitation of wireless systems for non-cooperative target localization and tracking is investigated. The information about wireless links quality is available on most of commercially available network devices and represents the input of the proposed methodology. A real-time probability of presence is generated by means of a learning by example strategy that estimates the unknown relation between the input data and the target position inside the monitored domain. The real-time capabilities of the proposed approach have been experimentally verified when dealing with heterogeneous target movements in standard indoor areas.
