Distributed Optical Sensor Network with Self-Monitoring Mechanism for Accurate Indoor Location and Coordinate Measurement

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to provide accurate and robust indoor location service for large-scale mechanical manufacturing, a sensor network consisting of laser transmitters and optical receivers is proposed in a distributed framework. Geometric model described by rotating plane equations is established, re-ceiver’s location algorithm is achieved by utilizing intersection constraint of multiple laser planes form different transmitters. A self-monitoring mechanism for sensor network is also presented by introducing redundant fixed receivers as reference. Experiment has shown that the measuring accu-racy of a minimal sensor network is better than 0.2mm and self-monitoring mechanism can effectively guarantee the accuracy of the measurement results.
