Optimal deployment method of sensors in localization system based on targets with Gaussian distribution

The optimal deployment of sensors problem is considered when the target location obeys Gaussian prior distribution in three-dimensional space positioning system. The Fisher information matrix of the estimation error in bearings-only localization algorithm is analyzed and Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) based on the target prior distribution is derived. Then, the maximum posterior probability estimation method based on three-dimensional coordinate rotation is discussed to convert a non-diagonal covariance matrix into a diagonal matrix, which aims to minimize the trace of the CRB, and the optimal sensor deployment is obtained. Finally, the gradient-descent algorithm is adopted to simulate effectiveness of the method is verified. Simulation results also show that the method can effectively reduce the localization error compared with the different sensor deployment.
