An Efficient Gps Position Determination Algorithm, Carlos R. Colon Mar 1999

An Efficient Gps Position Determination Algorithm, Carlos R. Colon

Theses and Dissertations

The use of detect, or closed-form solutions of the trilateration equations used to obtain the position fix in GPS receivers is investigated. The paper is concerned with the development of an efficient new position determination algorithm that uses the closed-form solution of the trilateration equations and works in the presence of pseudorange measurement noise and for an arbitrary number of satellites. in addition, an initial position guess is not required and good estimation performance is achieved even under high GDOP conditions. A two step GPS position determination algorithm which 1) entails the solution of a linear regression problem and, 2) …

Some Studies On Shape Of Dot Patterns., Anirban Ray Chaudhuri Dr.

Doctoral Theses

The important visual characteristics of an object are shape, size, color, brightness, contrast and texture. Of them, shape is a multidimensional concept that is difficult to define. It takes different meanings in different contexts. We try to explain it in terms of their attributes like elongation, roundness, and symmetry: although these terms do not capture the complete notion of shape.Perhaps Gestalt theory Koffka 351 is the first attempt to study the principles of visual perception in a systematic manner. The central concept of this theory is Gestalt' which means form or configuration. In this theory form is examined from physical. …


Muyltivariate And Regression Analysis Based On The Geometry Of Data Clouds., Biman Chakraborty Dr. Feb 1999

Muyltivariate And Regression Analysis Based On The Geometry Of Data Clouds., Biman Chakraborty Dr.

Doctoral Theses

Median is a natural estimate of location of a data set, and there are several versions of inultivariate median studied in the literature, each of which is an interesting descriptive statistic for multivariate data and provides some nice geometric insights into the data cloud. One would expect that multidimensional median will be a natural estimate for the center of symmetry of a multivariate distribution. However, there is no unique concept of symmetry in multivariate problems. The center of symmetry can be defined in several ways there. For example, the d-dimensional random variable X is spherically symmetric about e €Rd if …
