| Abstract | The goal of passive source localization is to acoustically detect objects producing noises by multiple sensors (e.g. microphones, hydrophones) and to estimate their position using only the sound information. While within the last four decades a lot of work was carried out on how to best measure the time delay of arrivals (TDOAs) and on finding an optimal location estimator, relatively little work can be found on how to best place the sensors. However, the performance of such estimators is strongly correlated to the sensor configuration. Therefore, we propose a procedure for an optimal sensor setup minimizing the condition numbers of an analytic linear least-squares (LLS) estimator and an iterative, linearized model (LM) estimator. An advantage of using the condition number as the cost function is that, unlike the Cramer Rao Lower Bound, it defines an upper bound for the estimation error. Further, no assumptions about the disturbance noise need to be made and a robust sensor configuration will be found, which is invariant to rotation and dilatation. The two condition numbers of the presented passive source localization algorithms are independent of the number of sensors. However, it will be shown, that the estimation error decreases proportionally to the inverse of the square-root of the number of sensors. Some analytical forms of optimal sensor configurations will be derived, which attain the global minimum of the condition number of the LLS estimator or which minimize the condition number of the LM estimator. Further, a sensor geometry using a minimum number of sensors is derived, which forces the condition numbers of both estimators equal to one. The interest of such a setup lies in a possible combination of both estimators. The LM estimator might then be initialized by the position estimate found by the LLS estimator. A variety of alternative estimators are closely related to the LLS estimator. Their performances will be compared, and it will be shown, that the optimal sensor geometry specially derived for the LLS estimator also increases their accuracies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
