Cramér-Rao bounds and their application to sensor selection
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work deals with the analysis of a multisensor radar system in the context of maritime border control scenario. The system is composed by a receiver that exploits the signal emitted by two non co-operative transmitters of opportunity: a UMTS base station and a FM radio station. An algorithm for selecting the transmitter for the tracking of a radar target is proposed. This algorithm can provide a significant aid to harbour protection and can reduce the computational load of surveillance operations.

Cramér-Rao bounds for the localization of anisotropic sources
In the most general case, source localization has to take into account the radiation pattern of the sources of interest. This is particularly important when the sensors surround the sources, and the sources are anisotropic, as is the case in several applications (EEG, speech, musical instruments, etc.). Cramér-Rao bounds for the joint estimation of the position of a source and its radiation pat...
متن کاملAnalytical Performance Bounds for Full and Reduced-order Distributed Bayesian Estimation
Motivated by the resource management problem in nonlinear multi-sensor tracking networks, the paper derives online, distributed estimation algorithms for computing the posterior Cramér-Rao lower bound (PCRLB) for full-order and reduced-order distributed Bayesian estimators without requiring a fusion centre and with nodal communications limited to local neighborhoods. For both cases, Riccati-typ...
متن کاملCramér-Rao Bounds for Non-Linear Filtering with Measurement Origin Uncertainty
We are concerned with the problem of tracking a single target using multiple sensors. At each stage the measurement number is uncertain and measurements can either be target generated or false alarms. The CramérRao bound gives a lower bound on the performance of any unbiased estimator of the target state. In this paper we build on earlier research concerned with calculating Posterior Cramér-R...
متن کاملMultipath exploited Bayesian and Cramér-Rao bounds for single-sensor target localization
In urban scenarios, radar returns consist of a direct path return along with multipath returns from signal reflections off surfaces such as building walls or floors. When multipath is resolvable, and given the knowledge of the geometry of the reflecting surfaces, it has recently been demonstrated that multipath returns create additional “virtual” radar sensors, thereby permitting target localiz...
متن کاملCramér-Rao Bounds for Estimation of Linear System Noise Covariances
The performance of Kalman filter depends directly on the noise covariances, which are usually not known and need to be estimated. Several estimation algorithms have been published in past decades, but the measure of estimation quality is missing. The Cramér-Rao bounds represent limitation of quality of parameter estimation that can be obtained from given data. In this article, The Cramér-Rao bo...
