Abstract
A method, system, and computer product for detecting a virtual object include transmitting a probe signal to objects, receiving an echo signal reflected by at least one object of the objects, generating scan data based on the echo signal, capturing one or more images of the objects, generating image data corresponding to the captured images, computing the scan data to identify each of the objects, computing the image data to identify each of the objects, and determining another object of the objects as a virtual object, responsive to determining that the another object is identified by the computation on the image data and is not identified by the computation on the scan data.
