Abstract

Described herein is NLS using a bounded linear initial search space and a fixed grid with pre-calculated variables. An initial first elevation angle corresponding to a direct reflection from an object and an initial second elevation angle corresponding to a multi-path reflection from the object are received along with a grid comprising pre-calculated variables for each of a plurality of grid points. The initial elevation angle pair is then refined by, for a plurality of iterations, determining a closest grid point to a current elevation angle pair and performing a non-linear least squares iteration on the closest grid point using the pre-calculated variables for the closest grid point to determine a next elevation angle pair. When the iterations have converged, a height of the object is calculated based on a final elevation angle pair.
