Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 17:
18. A method of near-far target identification in a radar, the method comprising:
conducting a first scan;
based on the first scan, collecting radar data and generating a first Range-Doppler (RD) map image;
processing the first RD map image with a data pre-processing module;
determining, based on the processing, a signal strength of reflected RF signals across a range of frequencies;
adaptively adjusting transceiver parameters based at least on the processed first RD map image;
conducting a second scan with the adjusted transceiver parameter;
generating, based on the second scan, a second RD map image;
adaptively scaling the second RD map image with respect to the first RD map image;
stitching the first RD map image with the adaptively scaled second RD map image;
generating a composite image that comprises the stitched first and adaptively scaled second RD map image;
extracting micro-doppler signal from the composite image; and
performing a target classification based on the extracted micro-doppler signal from the composite image.
