摘要：Locating an object using a set of measurements collected from a number of spatially separated sensors often faces two challenges: the presence of outliers and the nonlinear relationship with the unknown. Outlier measurements degrade the localization accuracy considerably and the nonlinear relationship makes the solution finding difficult. This talk begins with a geometric approach to develop a minimum measurement positioning solution using elliptic measurements. The solution is in algebraic analytic form that requires the roots of a quadratic equation only. The minimum measurement solution establishes the intersection condition of the line of positions from two measurements and such condition enables the use of graph theory to derive an outlier detection scheme. A location estimator is next proposed that is based on the minimum measurement solution when there are more measurements than the number of unknown variables. Such an estimator reduces the nonlinear estimation problem to a simple algebraic solution that is computationally efficient, achieves the CRLB performance under Gaussian noise and can delay the thresholding effect.
