Uwb Sensor Networks for Position Location and Imaging of Objects and Environments

چکیده
In this paper we give an overview on autonomous navigation, object detection and imaging by UWB sensor networks. We describe coherent and non-coherent approaches of data fusion for imaging and object localization that rely on different levels of synchronous multistatic and asynchronous sensor cooperation. Detection and identification of time variant object features are discussed.

Imaging in UWB Sensor Networks
Sensor networks consist of a number of spatially distributed nodes. These nodes perform measurements and collect information about their surrounding. They transfer data to neighboring nodes or to a data fusion center. Often measurements are performed in cooperation of several nodes. If the network consists of Ultra-Wideband (UWB) radar sensors, the network infrastructure can be used for a rough...
متن کاملA multi-hop PSO based localization algorithm for wireless sensor networks
A sensor network consists of a large number of sensor nodes that are distributed in a large geographic environment to collect data. Localization is one of the key issues in wireless sensor network researches because it is important to determine the location of an event. On the other side, finding the location of a wireless sensor node by the Global Positioning System (GPS) is not appropriate du...

متن کاملDistributed Uwb Mimo Sounding for Evaluation of Cooperative Localization and Imaging Principles in Sensor Networks
Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) channel sounder systems are usually applied for MIMO transmission link performance evaluation and for estimation of the multidimensional geometric parameters of multipath wave propagation [1]. Ultra wideband (UWB) propagation measurement, so far, was based on network analyzer application [2] which allows only static measurements. Here we describe a novel di...
متن کاملUltra Wide Band (uwb) Based Precise Positioning System for Robotics
The advent of the Global Positioning System (GPS) provided reliable and accurate position information worldwide for outdoor environment. However, many applications are emerging where position information is required and the environment or complexity considerations prohibit the use of GPS. As a result, areas as diverse as robotics, sensor networks, and ubiquitous computing have seen an increase ...
