Weighted Least-Squares Solutions for Energy-Based Collaborative Source Localization Using Acoustic Array
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Least-Squares (LS) acoustic source location estimation technique is reported for the application in a wireless sensor network. The technique uses acoustic signal energy measurements taken at individual sensors of a wireless sensor network to estimate an acoustic source location. In this paper, an improved formulation of this localization problem, which clarifies the LS estimation errors, is firstly presented. Then two weighted solutions, weighted nonlinear LS and weighted linear LS, are given. The weighting coefficients are derived from the energy measurements, which directly relate the energy strength with the estimation errors. Compared with existing LS methods, the weighted LS solutions deliver more accurate results and offer flexible implementation to reduce computational load. Extensive simulations are conducted to confirm the performance advantages.

We derive fast wideband algorithms, based on measurements of the acoustic intensity, for determining the bearings of a target using an acoustic vector sensor (AVS) situated in free space or on a reflecting boundary. We also obtain a lower bound on the mean-square angular error (MSAE) of such estimates. We then develop general closed-form weighted least-squares (WLS) and reweighted least-squares...
