Trackability with Imprecise Localization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Imagine a tracking agent P who wants to follow a moving target Q in d-dimensional Euclidean space. The tracker has access to a noisy location sensor that reports an estimate Q̃(t) of the target’s true location Q(t) at time t, where ||Q(t)−Q̃(t)|| represents the sensor’s localization error. We study the limits of tracking performance under this kind of sensing imprecision. In particular, we investigate (1) what is P ’s best strategy to follow Q if both P and Q can move with equal speed, (2) at what rate does the distance ||Q(t) − P (t)|| grow under worst-case localization noise, (3) if P wants to keep Q within a prescribed distance L, how much faster does it need to move, and (4) what is the effect of obstacles on the tracking performance, etc. Under a relative error model of noise, we are able to give upper and lower bounds for the worst-case tracking performance, both with or without obstacles.

Non-discretionary imprecise data in efficiency Measurement
This paper introduces discretionary imprecise data in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and discusses the efficiency evaluation of Decision Making Units (DMUs) with non-discretionary imprecise data. Then, suggests a method for evaluation the efficiency of DMUs with non-discretionary imprecise data. When some inputs and outputs are imprecise and non-discretionary, the DEA model becomes non-linear ...
متن کاملHyPAERLoc: Plausible Hybrid Localization for Wireless Sensor Networks
Position estimation is one of the major challenges of sensor nodes in wireless sensor networks. By utilizing the information of messages of some pre-deployed location aware nodes, called beacons, and signal strength based distance estimation, a location unaware node is able to estimate its position. In the recent years, several localization methodologies have been developed. Due to imprecise di...
متن کاملDevelopment of gold stents for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms: an experimental study in a canine model.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Gold has often been used in medicine because of its radiopacity and flexibility. To perform stent-supported coil embolization of intracranial aneurysms, we prepared a gold stent and examined its flexibility, radiopacity, and thrombogenic properties in comparison with a stainless steel device implanted in vitro and in vivo. METHODS Gold stents were prepared by plating go...
