We examine the problem of optimal bearing-only localization of a single target using
synchronous measurements from multiple sensors. We approach the problem by forming …

In this paper we examine the geometrically constrained optimization approach to
localization with hybrid bearing (angle of arrival, AOA) and time difference of arrival (TDOA) …

A new subspace method is proposed to solve the bearing-only target localization (BOTL)
problem. Instead of linearizing the nonlinear bearing equations to form least-squares …

The problem of target localization involves estimating the position of a target from multiple
noisy sensor measurements. It is well known that the relative sensor-target geometry can …

In this paper, we address the problem of determining the optimal geometric configuration of
an acoustic sensor network that will maximize the angle-related information available for …

In this paper we characterize the relative sensor-target geometry for bearing-only
localization in R 2. We analyze the geometry in terms of the Cramer-Rao inequality and the …

The problem of bearings-only target localization is to estimate the location of a fixed target
from a sequence of noisy bearing measurements. Although, in theory, this process is …

In this paper, the bearing-only target localization problem when the observer positions are
subject to error is investigated. In this problem, the angle of arrival of the transmitted signal …

In this paper, we present a location-penalized maximum likelihood (LPML) estimator for
bearing only target localization. We develop a new penalized maximum likelihood cost …

This paper focuses on the optimal deployment problem of multiple mobile vehicles with
circular formation for multi-target localization using bearings-only sensors. Initially, a general …
