Abstract
A privacy-compliant indoor localization approach utilizing a 3-D near-field (NF) passive radar imaging technique is presented. This technique leverages ubiquitously radiated electromagnetic fields for imaging, with passive tags introduced to enhance the strength of scattering fields, thereby enabling precise localization at the imaging level. The method also supports localization in non-ideal imaging scenarios, such as for limited bandwidth or in highly-reflective environments. Based on their geometrical properties the simple and low-cost passive tags enable intuitive differentiation between individuals or objects. Associated privacy protection mechanisms are discussed, where the frequency-varying properties of the passive tags provide additional flexibility and potential applications under privacy and ethical considerations. Several forms of passive tags are presented, where both simulation and experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed passive tag designs.
