This study deals with a tracking problem for hidden human targets using time‐division multiple‐input‐multiple‐output through‐wall imaging radar (TWIR). An efficient image‐domain tracking algorithm is proposed. Specifically, the authors first utilise back‐projection algorithm and the phase coherence factor (PCF) to obtain multi‐frame high quality images. Then a tracking algorithm via amplitude‐distribution‐based particle filter is proposed. Experimental data validates that this algorithm has a commendable effectiveness for hidden target tracking.
