In an embodiment, a method includes: receiving radar signals with a millimeter-wave radar; generating range data based on the received radar signals; detecting a target based on the range data; performing ellipse fitting on in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) signals associated with the detected target to generate compensated I and Q signals associated with the detected target; classifying the compensated I and Q signals; when the classification of the compensated I and Q signals correspond to a first class, determining a displacement signal based on the compensated I and Q signals, and determining a vital sign based on the displacement signal; and when the classification of the compensated I and Q signals correspond to a second class, discarding the compensated I and Q signals.

Camera data and radar echoes are received from the surroundings. At least one radar echo is assigned to a delimiting frame of an object detected on the basis of a camera, the delimiting frame being generated using the camera data by comparing corresponding azimuth angles and specified distances of the radar echo and the object detected on the basis of a camera. In the event of a successful assignment, a distance which is assumed on the basis of a camera is corrected according to the distance of the respective detected object in the surroundings, said distance being determined in a radar-based manner. The respective delimiting frame together with the corrected distance is then output as an object data set which indicates a successful object detection.

This disclosure relates generally to method and system to track and monitor human using an array of radars. Human tracking is necessarily important in security, especially with the growth of threats and incidents. Conventional systems and method lack in tracking target subject being authenticated to move around the monitoring environment. The present invention provides a method of detect human continually based on radar signals from an array of radars to track the presence of one or more target subjects associated within the monitoring environment. Further, a height surface plot of each target subject present in a radar range is constructed for identification. Then, each target subject present in the radar range of the monitoring environment based on mapping the height surface plot with a predefined height map. The characteristics of each target subject helps in detecting the target subject accurately.
