Abstract :
In this poster, we propose a positioning method for networked sensor nodes that include mobile ones. Using the non-parametric belief propagation (NBP), the proposed method estimates the location of each node based on the measurements of the relative distances to neighbors. Simulation results showed that the NBP based method improved the estimated positions and removed ambiguity of positions.
