Method and a system for determining the geometry and/or the localization of an object

A system for determining the geometry and/or the localisation of an object, comprising:

• a transmitter for sending one or more signals;
• one or more receivers for receiving the transmitted signals and the echoes of the transmitted signals as reflected by one or more reflective surfaces;
• a first computing module for building a first Euclidean Distance Matrix (EDM) corresponding to mutual positions of the receivers;
• a second computing module for adding to the EDM a new row and a new column, the new row and a new column comprising time of arrivals of said echoes and computing its second rank or its distance from the first EDM;
• a third computing module for determining the geometry and/or the position of the object based on said second rank or distance.

A computer program product, comprising:

• a tangible computer usable medium including computer usable program code for determining the geometry and/or the localisation of an object, the computer usable program code being used for
• building a first Euclidean Distance Matrix (EDM) comprising the mutual positions of the receivers;
• adding to the EDM a new row and a new column, the new row and a new column comprising time of arrivals of echoes of the signals transmitted by a transmitter as reflected by one or more reflective surfaces and received by one or more receivers and computing its rank or its distance to the first EDM;
• determining the geometry and/or the position of the object based on said rank or distance.
