In this work we study the statistical model of source localization based on Range Difference measurements. We investigate the case of planar localization of a source using a minimal configuration of three non aligned receivers. Our analysis…

The physical position is crucial in location-aware services or protocols based on geographic information, where localization is performed given a set of sensor measurements for acquiring the position of an object with respect to a certain…

This manuscript is a preliminary pre-print version of a journal submission by the authors, revisiting the problem of range measurement based localization of a signal source or a sensor. The major geometric difficulty of the problem comes…

In this manuscript we consider the well-established problem of TDOA-based source localization and propose a comprehensive analysis of its solutions for arbitrary sensor measurements and placements. More specifically, we define the TDOA map…

This paper studies a coordinate alignment problem for cooperative mobile sensor network localization with range-based measurements. The network consists of target nodes, each of which has only access position information in a local fixed…

Multiple antenna arrays play a key role in wireless networks for communications but also localization and sensing. The use of large antenna arrays pushes towards a propagation regime in which the wavefront is no longer plane but spherical.…

Using a series of detector measurements taken at different locations to localize a source of radiation is a well-studied problem. The source of radiation is sometimes constrained to a single point-like source, in which case the location of…

Multiple antennas arrays play a key role in wireless networks for communications but also for localization and sensing applications. The use of large antenna arrays at high carrier frequencies (in the mmWave range) pushes towards a…

In this paper we use the MAP criterion to locate a region containing a source. Sensors placed in a field of interest divide the latter into smaller regions and take measurements that are transmitted over noisy wireless channels. We propose…

Radiation detection has largely been a manual inspection process with point sensors such as Geiger-Muller counters and scintillation spectrometers to date. While their observations of source proximity prove useful, they lack the directional…

In this paper, the problem of target localization in the presence of outlying sensors is tackled. This problem is important in practice because in many real-world applications the sensors might report irrelevant data unintentionally or…

We consider the sound ranging, or source localization, problem - find the source-point from the moments when the wave-sphere of linearly, with time, increasing radius reaches the sensor-points - in the proper metric spaces (any closed ball…

An analysis is developed linking the form of the sound field from a circular source to the radial structure of the source, without recourse to far-field or other approximations. It is found that the information radiated into the field is…

Establishing bounds on the accuracy achievable by localization techniques represents a fundamental technical issue. Bounds on localization accuracy have been derived for cases in which the position of an agent is estimated on the basis of a…

Publicly available satellite imagery can be an ubiquitous, cheap, and powerful tool for vehicle localisation when a prior sensor map is unavailable. However, satellite images are not directly comparable to data from ground range sensors…

Channel Charting aims to construct a map of the radio environment by leveraging similarity relationships found in high-dimensional channel state information. Although resulting channel charts usually accurately represent local neighborhood…

Radio maps provide radio frequency metrics, such as the received signal strength, at every location of a geographic area. These maps, which are estimated using a set of measurements collected at multiple positions, find a wide range of…

The advent of next-generation telescope facilities brings with it an unprecedented amount of data, and the demand for effective tools to process and classify this information has become increasingly important. This work proposes a novel…

This paper considers the problem of localising a stationary signal source using a team of mobile agents which only take binary measurements. Background false detection rates and missed detection probabilities are incorporated into the…
