The present disclosure generally relates to localization and, more particularly, to remote localization and radio-frequency identification using a combination of structural and antenna mode scattering responses. A method and system include receiving location data of an object from a plurality of transmitter-reader pairs (TRPs); generating a plurality of first ellipses representing the received location data; determining blocking likelihoods at points of intersection between the plurality of first ellipses; generating additional ellipses representing additional location data received from additional TRPs; and updating the blocking likelihoods at points of intersection between the plurality of first ellipses and the additional ellipses.
