16 Localization

Localization via Range Measurement

alt text

The objective of the localization problem is to infer, from a set of range measurements, the position of an object in three-dimensional space, as accurately as possible. The problem would arise in the context of trying to estimate the location of a cell phone user based on the measurements of strength of a signal emitted from the cell phone to a number of base stations (access points).
