Localization using ambient sound sources on Android platform

Abstract

This project explores the theory of time differences of arrivals to compute the location of a group of networking devices. Distance estimation methods, the Variance method, Arc Cosine Regression Method and Convex Hull methods which require a minimum number of two receivers are analysed. For a minimum number of three receivers, the Ellipsoid TDOA method is explored. Simulations are conducted using the software MATLAB and different scenarios of the Convex Hull method are investigated.
