public class LMedSRobustMixedPositionEstimator2D
extends RobustMixedPositionEstimator2D

Robustly estimates 2D position using located radio sources and their readings at unknown locations and using LMedS algorithm to discard outliers. This kind of estimator can be used to robustly determine the 2D position of a given device by getting readings at an unknown location of different radio sources whose 2D locations are known.

Method Details

getStopThreshold

public double getStopThreshold()

Returns threshold to be used to keep the algorithm iterating in case that best estimated threshold using median of residuals is not small enough. Once a solution is found that generates a threshold below this value, the algorithm will stop. The stop threshold can be used to prevent the LMedS algorithm to iterate too many times in cases where samples have a very similar accuracy. For instance, in cases where proportion of outliers is very small (close to 0%), and samples are very accurate (i.e. 1e-6), the algorithm would iterate for a long time trying to find the best solution when indeed there is no need to do that if a reasonable threshold has already been reached. Because of this behaviour the stop threshold can be set to a value much lower than the one typically used in RANSAC, and yet the algorithm could still produce even smaller thresholds in estimated results.

Returns:

stop threshold to stop the algorithm prematurely when a certain accuracy has been reached.

setStopThreshold

public void setStopThreshold(double stopThreshold)
                      throws com.irurueta.navigation.LockedException

Sets threshold to be used to keep the algorithm iterating in case that best estimated threshold using median of residuals is not small enough. Once a solution is found that generates a threshold below this value, the algorithm will stop. The stop threshold can be used to prevent the LMedS algorithm to iterate too many times in cases where samples have a very similar accuracy. For instance, in cases where proportion of outliers is very small (close to 0%), and samples are very accurate (i.e. 1e-6), the algorithm would iterate for a long time trying to find the best solution when indeed there is no need to do that if a reasonable threshold has already been reached. Because of this behaviour the stop threshold can be set to a value much lower than the one typically used in RANSAC, and yet the algorithm could still produce even smaller thresholds in estimated results.

Parameters:

stopThreshold - stop threshold to stop the algorithm prematurely when a certain accuracy has been reached.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if provided value is zero or negative.

com.irurueta.navigation.LockedException - if this solver is locked.
