Abstract
We propose a novel method of localization based on low-cost continuous-wave unmodulated doppler microwave radar sensors. We use both velocity measures and distance estimations with RSS from radar sensors. We also implement a particle filter for real time localization. Experiments show that, with a reasonable initial estimate, it is possible to track the movements of a person in a room with enough accuracy for considering using this type of devices for monitoring a person or indoor guiding applications.
