Compared with weighted least squares(WLS) methods,the proposed algorithm is also suitable for well-posed conditions,and gets rid of the dependence on the constraints of Earth's surface. First of all, the solution formulas are expressed by the radial range. Then substitute it into the equation of the radial range to figure out the radial range between the target and the reference station. Finally use the solution expression of the target location to estimate the location of the target accurately. The proposed algorithm solves the problem that WLS methods have a large positioning error when the number of observation stations is not over-determined. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, including effectively increasing the positioning accuracy and reducing the number of observatories.展开更多

Precise focal depth is of critical importance for evaluating seismic hazards, deciphering dynamic mechanisms of earthquake generating,estimating aftershock evolutions and risk,as well as monitoring nuclear tests. However,how we determine an accurate focal depth is always a challenge in seismological studies. Aiming to solve these problems, we analyzed and summarized the present status and the future development of earthquake focal depth locating. In this paper we first reviewed the present status of focal depth locating in the world,and summarized the frequently-used relocating methods and ideas at present,and introduced two types of focal depth relocating ideas: arrival time relocating and waveform modeling methods. For these ideas,we systematically described the S-P and the Pn-Pg methods that belong to arrival time method,and polarization focal depth locating and amplitude focal depth locating that belongs to waveform modeling,and further analyzed the advantages and limitations of these methods. Since the depth phase methods are highly sensitive to focal depth,and are relatively free from the uncertainties of crustal models,we mainly reviewed the depth phases of s Pm P,s PL,s Pn,and s Sn,and quantitatively evaluated their availabilities and characteristics. Second,we also discussed the effects of crustal velocity models on the reliability of focal depth locating,and reviewed the advancements of seismic tomography techniques over recent years. Finally,based on the present status of the progress on the focal depth locating,and studies of seismic velocity structures,we proposed an idea of combining multiple datasets and relocating methods,jointly utilizing seismologic and geodetic techniques to relocate focal depth,which should be the major research field in investigating focal depth and source parameters in the near future.展开更多

Our work tackles the challenging problem of accurate indoor positioning in hazardous multipath environments through three versatile super resolution techniques: time domain Multiple Signal Classification (TD-MUSIC), frequency domain MUSIC (FD-MUSIC) algorithms, and frequency domain Eigen value (FD-EV) method. The advantage of using these super resolution techniques is twofold. First for Line-of-Sight (LoS) conditions this provides the most accurate means of determining the time delay estimate from transmitter to receiver for any wireless sensor network. The high noise immunity and resolvability of these methods makes them ideal for cost-effective wireless sensor networks operating in indoor channels. Second for non-LoS conditions the resultant pseudo-spectrum generated by these methods provides the means to construct the ideal location based fingerprint. We provide an in depth analysis of limitation as well as advantages inherent in all of these methods through a detailed behavioral analysis under constrained environments. Hence, the bandwidth versatility, higher resolution capability and higher noise immunity of the TD-MUSIC algorithm and the FD-EV method’s ability to resurface submerged signal peaks when the signal subspace dimensions are underestimated are all presented in detail.展开更多
