## Abstract

A detection system and detection method are disclosed herein, the detection system includes a first detector, a second detector, an actuator and a processing device. The first detector and the second detector detect a target in a first detection range and a second detection range respectively, to generate a first detection signal and a second detection signal. The processing device establishes a detection movement path according to the first detection signal and the second detection signal, compares the detection movement path with a plurality of historical movement paths to select the historical movement path that best matches the detection movement path from the historical movement paths, and transmits a driving signal to the actuator in a third detection range when the processing device predicts that the target moves to the third detection range according to the best matching historical movement path.
