Research topics |
Personal positioning refers to computing the 3D position coordinates of a portable handset using a variety of measurements. Combining information from satellite-based systems (such as GPS), terrestrial radio systems (such as cellular networks), and on-board sensors has presented numerous new challenges, especially as some of the measurements were not originally intended to be used for positioning purposes. Meanwhile, the increasing computational capabilities of the mobile handset are making it possible to take advantage of more sophisticated mathematical methods to compensate for the scarce and incomplete data. The group studies the point-position and nonlinear filtering techniques required in modern personal positioning, including
In addition, we research statististical
and geometric models pertaining to the problem as well
as efficient numerical algorithms for
positioning/tracking computations. Publications list (all) Theses Journals Patents Research group TUT portfolio code is MAT-POS. |
