Distance Measurement-Based Cooperative Source Localization: A Convex Range-Free Approach
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-19)One of the most essential objectives in WSNs is to determine the spatial coordinates of a source or a sensor node having information. In this study, the problem of range measurement-based localization of a signal source ... -
Gauge Theory Dynamics and Calabi-Yau Moduli
(University of Waterloo, 2014-07-02)We compute the exact partition function of two dimensional N=(2,2) supersymmetric gauge theories on S². For theories with SU(2|1)_A invariance, the partition function admits two equivalent representations corresponding to ... -
Improved Particle Filter Based Localization and Mapping Techniques
(University of Waterloo, 2008-04-28)One of the most fundamental problems in mobile robotics is localization. The solution to most problems requires that the robot first determine its location in the environment. Even if the absolute position is not necessary, ... -
Improving the VANET Vehicles' Localizatoin Accuracy using GPS Receiver in Multipath Environments
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-27)The Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) has been studied in many fields since it has the ability to provide a variety of services, such as detecting oncoming collisions and providing warning signals to alert the driver. The ... -
Monocular Vision based Particle Filter Localization in Urban Environments
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-26)This thesis presents the design and experimental result of a monocular vision based particle filter localization system for urban settings that uses aerial orthoimagery as a reference map. The topics of perception and ... -
Multi-frame Measurement Fusion for State Estimation
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-27)Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is a technique used by robots and autonomous vehicles to build up a map while operating in an unknown environment, while at the same time keeping track of a current position ... -
Task-Driven Integrity Assessment and Control for Vehicular Hybrid Localization Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-24)Throughout the last decade, vehicle localization has been attracting significant attention in a wide range of applications, including Navigation Systems, Road Tolling, Smart Parking, and Collision Avoidance. To deliver on ...
