| Summary: | Scott Burnett (1) demonstrated the feasibility of using acoustic sensors to locate an object without information about speed of sound. The algorithms of triangulation and pose measurement, which were introduced in his paper to fulfill the goal of using acoustic sensors to locate an object, are reviewed in this thesis. Moreover, some discussion on how to improve the algorithm's accuracy is also mentioned in this thesis. This work will attempt to improve the accuracy of using acoustic sensors to locate an object without information about speed of sound. A numerical method will be used to study the relationship between error and the location of sensors. To know how the location of sensors will affect the accuracy of the result, different sets of acoustic sensors will be modeled. With different combinations of acoustic sensors, we are looking to find the relationship between the accuracy of predicted transmitters' positions and the locations of acoustic sensors. |
