Spring 2006 CS 649 2
· Basic Problem Statement: Collaborative estimation of
the locations of targets (or source signals) based on
distributed sensor measurements
· Key distinctions from the self localization problem
· Non-cooperative sources
· Uncertainty with source/target signals
· unknown source signal intensity
· ambiguity created from multiple targets/sources
A Simple Taxonomy of Approaches (our
focus in boldface)
