Abstract

We describe an ad-hoc localization system for sensor networks and explain why traditional calibration methods are inadequate for this system. Building upon previous work, we frame calibration as a parameter estimation problem; we parameterize each device and choose the values of those parameters that optimize the overall system performance. This method reduces our average error from 74.6\% without calibration to 10.1\%. We propose ways to expand this technique to a method of autocalibration for localization as well as to other sensor network applications.
