ABSTRACT:
As a first issue, during this talk I will discuss the framework of inverse problems: what they are, why they are difficult to solve and what are the possible strategies for solving them. Then I will focus on Bayesian tracking as a statistical inversion method for solving dynamical inverse problems. As a final step, I will present some results obtained applying a Bayesian Tracking algorithm to real data...

Antoine Doucet: Challenges in Online Book Retrieval

Tue 9 Nov 2010, Room B119, Exactum

Welcome!

ABSTRACT:
The talk introduces a grid-based GSM positioning algorithm that can be deployed entirely on mobile devices. The algorithm uses Gaussian distributions to model signal intensity variations within each grid cell. Position estimates are calculated by combining a probabilistic centroid algorithm with particle filtering. In addition to presenting the positioning algorithm, we describe methods that can be used to...
