In space, photometric surveys are very efficient to detect small transiting planets or stars which are contaminated by blended eclipsing binaries. We present some simulations compared to radial velocity (RV) observations obtained with the SOPHIE spectrograph (OHP, France) in order to determine the true nature of a brown dwarf candidate revealed by CoRoT: a background eclipsing binary diluted by a foreground star.
