Non-Coherent Sensor Fusion via Entropy Regularized Optimal Mass Transport

Signal Processing 2018-11-20 v2

Abstract

This work presents a method for information fusion in source localization applications. The method utilizes the concept of optimal mass transport in order to construct estimates of the spatial spectrum using a convex barycenter formulation. We introduce an entropy regularization term to the convex objective, which allows for low-complexity iterations of the solution algorithm and thus makes the proposed method applicable also to higher-dimensional problems. We illustrate the proposed method's inherent robustness to misalignment and miscalibration of the sensor arrays using numerical examples of localization in two dimensions.
