Atmospheric refractivity estimation from AIS signal power using the quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization algorithm

This paper proposes a new refractivity profile estimation method based on the use of AIS signal power and quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization (QPSO) algorithm to solve the inverse problem. Automatic identification system (AIS) is a maritime navigation safety communication system that operate...
