Localization is crucial to wireless sensor networks. Among the recently proposed localization algorithms, mobile anchor-assisted (MAL) algorithm seems promising. A MAL using a single anchor has low energy consumption but high error. Conversely, with three or more anchors minor errors consumption. By balancing and accuracy, our study developed assisted by two anchors. traverses network along dou...

In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), localization algorithms could be range-based or range-free. The Approximate Point in Triangle (APIT) is a range-free approach. We propose modification of the APIT algorithm and refer as modified-APIT. We select suitable triangles with appropriate distance between anchors to reduce PIT test errors (edge effect and non-uniform placement of neighbours) in APIT a...

Motivation: In prostate brachytherapy, transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) is used to visualize the anatomy, while implanted seeds can be seen in C-arm fluoroscopy or CT. Intra-operative dosimetry optimization requires localization of the implants in TRUS relative to the anatomy. This could be achieved by registration of TRUS images and the implants reconstructed from fluoroscopy or CT. Methods: TRUS...

PURPOSE Over the last decade, wireless capsule endoscope has been the tool of choice for noninvasive inspection of the gastrointestinal tract, especially in the small intestine. However, the latest clinical products have not been equipped with a sufficiently accurate localization system which makes it difficult to determine the location of intestinal abnormalities, and to apply follow-up interv...

Localization of users in indoor spaces is a common issue in many applications. Among various technologies, a Wi-Fi fingerprinting based localization solution has attracted much attention, since it can be easily deployed using the existing off-the-shelf mobile devices and wireless networks. However, the collection of the Wi-Fi radio map is quite labor-intensive, which limits its potential for la...

In the new agricultural scenarios, the interaction between autonomous tractors and a human operator is important when they jointly perform a task. Obtaining and exchanging accurate localization information between autonomous tractors and the human operator, working as a team, is a critical to maintaining safety, synchronization, and efficiency during the execution of a mission. An advanced loca...

A multistage approach to gray-level corner detection is proposed in this paper, which is based on fast corner extraction using the Plessey corner detector combined with CMOS image acquisition technologies and localization refinement using a spatial subpixel analysis approach. The proposed corner detector detects corners as the intersection points of the involved edges, only by using a small nei...

In the ubiquitous access or ubiquitous computing (ubicomp) environment, location is one of the most widely used context information. During the first year of this project, we have focused our research efforts on improving the popular Wi-Fi based indoor location systems. Specifically, we have addressed a common problem of instability in positioning accuracy due to changing environmental dynamics...
