Type Parameters:

S - a RadioSource type.

public class LMedSRobustRssiRadioSourceEstimator2D<S extends RadioSource>
extends RobustRssiRadioSourceEstimator2D<S>

Robustly estimate 2D position, transmitted power and path-loss exponent of a radio source (e.g. Wi-Fi access point or bluetooth beacon), by discarding outliers using LMedS algorithm and assuming that the radio source emits isotropically following the expression below: Pr = Pt*Gt*Gr*lambda^2 / (4*pi*d)^2, where Pr is the received power (expressed in mW), Gt is the Gain of the transmission antenna Gr is the Gain of the receiver antenna d is the distance between emitter and receiver and lambda is the wavelength and is equal to: lambda = c / f, where c is the speed of light and f is the carrier frequency of the radio signal. Because usually information about the antenna of the radio source cannot be retrieved (because many measurements are made on unknown devices where physical access is not possible), this implementation will estimate the equivalent transmitted power as: Pte = Pt * Gt * Gr. If RssiReadings contain RSSI standard deviations, those values will be used, otherwise it will be assumed an RSSI standard deviation of 1 dB. Implementations of this class should be able to detect and discard outliers in order to find the best solution.

IMPORTANT: When using this class estimation can be done using a combination of radio source position, transmitted power and path loss exponent. However enabling all three estimations usually achieves inaccurate results. When using this class, estimation must be of at least one parameter (position, transmitted power or path loss exponent) when initial values are provided for the other two, and at most it should consist of two parameters (either position and transmitted power, position and path loss exponent or transmitted power and path loss exponent), providing an initial value for the remaining parameter.

Field Details

DEFAULT_STOP_THRESHOLD

public static final double DEFAULT_STOP_THRESHOLD

Default value to be used for stop threshold. Stop threshold can be used to avoid keeping the algorithm unnecessarily 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 iterating 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.

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

                      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.
