Cooperative Localization for Mobile Networks: A Distributed Belief Propagation - Mean Field Message Passing Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a hybrid message passing method for distributed cooperative localization and tracking of mobile agents. Belief propagation (BP) and mean field (MF) message passing are employed for, respectively, the motion-related and measurement-related parts of the underlying factor graph. Using a Gaussian belief approximation, closed-form expressions of all messages are obtained, and only three real values per message passing iteration have to be broadcast to neighboring agents. Despite these very low communication requirements, the estimation accuracy can be comparable to that of particle-based BP.
