Relative kinematics of an anchorless network

The estimation of the coordinates of nodes their proximity (or distance) measurements, is a principal challenge in numerous fields. Conventionally, when localizing a static network of immobile nodes, non-linear dimensionality reduction techniques are applied on the measured distances to obtain the relative coordinates up to a rotation and...

Towards multi-rigid body localization

In this paper we focus on the relative position and orientation estimation between rigid bodies in an anchorless scenario. Several sensor units are installed on the rigid platforms, and the sensor placement on the rigid bodies is known beforehand (i.e., relative locations of the sensors on the rigid body are known). However, the absolute...
