- Abstract:
- We propose a range-free localization framework in which a network of randomly deployed acoustic sensors can passively use natural acoustic phenomena within its environment to localize itself. We introduce a novel approach for registration of sensors observations which takes advantage of a clustering technique on triplets of associated observations. A Bayesian filtering method is employed to incrementally improve system state estimation as more observations become available. To the best of our knowledge this is the first work done on range-free passive acoustic localization. Furthermore, we have proposed a simple but effective and efficient acoustic detection method which can be used to extract acoustic events against the noise background in the environment. Simulation experiments as well as small-scale physical experiments demonstrate the liability of the proposed algorithms
