Abstract

In location finding system using spaced multi-sensor, there is the phenomenon that the position estimation accuracy is degraded by the location of signal sources and the sensors. This phenomenon is called GDOP(Geometric Dilution Of Precision) effect. and to minimize these effects, research is needed on how. In this paper, I will describe how to minimize GDOP effect, estimating possibility of GDOP using AOA(angle of arrival) information of spaced multi sensors, and removing sensor error factor in position estimation.

신호원으로부터 발생하는 전파를 이격된 다중 센서에서 수신하여 신호원의 위치를 추정하는 시스템에서는 신호원의 위치와 센서들의 위치에 따라 위치탐지 정확도가 저하되는 현상이 나타난다. 이러한 현상을 기하학적 정밀도 저하(GDOP) 효과라 하며, 이러한 효과를 최소화하여 위치탐지 정확도 성능을 향상시키기 위한 방법에 대해 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이격 배치된 센서들의 방위 정보를 이용하여 GDOP 효과의 발생 가능성을 추정하고, 위치 추정에서 오차 요인이 되는 센서를 제거하여 GDOP 효과로 인한 성능 저하를 최소화하는 방법에 관한 연구 결과를 서술하겠다.
