Maximum-likelihood source localization and unknown sensor location estimation for wideband signals in the near-field
TLDR
The proposed maximum-likelihood location estimator for wideband sources in the near field of the sensor array is derived and is shown to yield superior performance over other suboptimal techniques, including the wideband MUSIC and the two-step least-squares methods.Abstract:
In this paper, we derive the maximum-likelihood (ML) location estimator for wideband sources in the near field of the sensor array. The ML estimator is optimized in a single step, as opposed to other estimators that are optimized separately in relative time-delay and source location estimations. For the multisource case, we propose and demonstrate an efficient alternating projection procedure based on sequential iterative search on single-source parameters. The proposed algorithm is shown to yield superior performance over other suboptimal techniques, including the wideband MUSIC and the two-step least-squares methods, and is efficient with respect to the derived Cramer-Rao bound (CRB). From the CRB analysis, we find that better source location estimates can be obtained for high-frequency signals than low-frequency signals. In addition, large range estimation error results when the source signal is unknown, but such unknown parameter does not have much impact on angle estimation. In some applications, the locations of some sensors may be unknown and must be estimated. The proposed method is extended to estimate the range from a source to an unknown sensor location. After a number of source-location frames, the location of the uncalibrated sensor can be determined based on a least-squares unknown sensor location estimator.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMCMC) technique is used to estimate the uncertainties in the orbital solutions that have been fitted to these observations. But the MCMC technique is not suitable for the high-dimensional parameter spaces necessary for the multiple-planet systems.

Particle filtering algorithms for tracking an acoustic source in a reverberant environment
TL;DR: A general framework for tracking an acoustic source using particle filters is formulated and four specific algorithms that fit within this framework are discussed, and results indicate that the proposed family of algorithms are able to accurately track a moving source in a moderately reverberant room.
