Abstract
A system and method for creating a site specific representation of an environment are disclosed. The system and method comprise sending an RF signal and receiving a reflected RF signal. Based upon determining characteristics of the reflected RF signal, characteristics of an obstruction in the environment are computed. Finally, a site specific representation of the environment based upon the computed characteristics is created.
