The earthquake occurred along the Chelungpu fault, a thrust fault on the western flank of the Taiwan fold-andthrust belt.

The ability for special operations forces (SOF) to rapidly deploy a through-building tracking system upon arrival at a tactical operation, e.g. a hostage scenario, and thereby estimate the approximate locations of the people within the building has the potential to lower the risk of the operation and save lives. We study the feasibility of a rapidly deployed radio frequency (RF)-based tomograph...
