Acoustic Source Localization in a Heterogeneous Network
نویسنده
چکیده
I present a potential design of a heterogeneous acoustic sensing network comprised of the Acoustic Embedded Networked Sensing Box (ENSBox) and the Berkeley Mica2 platforms. I also present one potential method of leveraging the presence of Mica2 motes to improve acoustic source localization. More specifically, I present a method of rejecting grating lobes, which may be present in direction-ofarrival (DOA) estimates created by ENSBoxes, using information available from the additional Mica2 motes.

Three Dimensional Localization of an Unknown Target Using Two Heterogeneous Sensors
Heterogeneous wireless sensor networks consist of some different types of sensor nodes deployed in a particular area. Different sensor types can measure different quantity of a source and using the combination of different measurement techniques, the minimum number of necessary sensors is reduced in localization problems. In this paper, we focus on the single source localization in a heterogene...

The present paper describes the basic principles of acoustic emission (AE) tomography. This method uses acoustic emission events as point sources and combines the usual iterative localization algorithm of AE testing with algorithms for travel time tomography like ART (algebraic reconstruction technique). The procedure is equivalent to the solution of the generalized inverse localization problem...

In this article, a fast and reliable map-merging algorithm is proposed to produce a global two dimensional map of an indoor environment in a multi-robot simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) process. In SLAM process, to find its way in this environment, a robot should be able to determine its position relative to a map formed from its observations. To solve this complex problem, simultan...
