Abstract

A method and system for identifying an object in one space monitored by at least one radar transceiver. The method comprises storing intervals of critical distance values () associated with the position of a fixed object upon which a time-varying radio signal shadow may be generated, which may be confused with a moving object. Through successive radar detections, the signals are processed and generate a measurement range profile (), from which a background range profile () is extracted to obtain an object range profile (). The distance of a possible detected object () is determined from the analysis of the object range profile. If the distance of the object () is external to the critical intervals (), the object is classified as valid (). If the distance is internal to the intervals, the detected object may be a shadow and unless further checks are performed, its presence is not indicated.
