Underwater Localization and Tracking of Physical Systems

Underwater Localization and Tracking of Physical Systems

We investigate the problem of localizing an underwater sensor node based on message broadcasting from multiple surface nodes. With the time-of-arrival measurements from a DSP-based multicarrier modem, each sensor node localizes itself based on the travel time differences among multiple senders to th...
