Passive angle measurement based localization consistency via geometric constraints,” in submitted for publication in Information, Decision and Control

In this paper we examine the geometric relations between various measured parameters and their corresponding errors in angle-measurement based emitter localization scenarios. We derive a geometric constraint formulating the relationship among the measurement errors in such a scenario. Using this constraint, we formulate the localization task as a constrained optimization problem that can be performed on the measure-ments in order to provide the optimal values such that the solution is consistent with the underlying geometry. 1
