Optimal sensor placement for localizing structured signal sources

• This work is concerned with determining optimal sensor placements that allow for an accurate location estimate of structured signal sources, taking into account the expected location areas and the typical range of the parameters detailing the signals. In the presentation, we illustrate the technique for tonal sound signals, exploiting the expected harmonic structure of such signals. To determine preferable sensor placements, we propose a computationally efficient scheme that minimizes theoretical lower bounds on the variance of the location estimate over the possible sensor placements, while taking into account the expected variability in the impinging signals, and introducing various forms of constraints on the optimization. Numerical examples and real measurements illustrate the performance of the proposed scheme.
