FOURIER-PHASE METHOD FOR THE LOCATION OF MOVING-OBJECTS

A novel method is presented that permits one to locate a moving object . According to this method, the change in location of a moving object can be detected from its Fourier spectrum. This method has the advanta ges of a high-precision locating mechanism and the capacity to permit one to ignore the change in the orientation and the size of the moving object. The principles are introduced, a computer simulation and expe rimental demonstration are given, and the practicality of this method is discussed.
