Sniper Localization for Asynchronous Sensors

Abstract

This paper describes a novel sniper localization method for a network of sensors. This approach relies only on the time difference of arrival (TDOA) between the muzzle , and shock wave from multiple singlesensor nodes, relaxing the need for precise time synchronization across the network. This method is best suited where an array of sensors, on a per-node basis, is not feasible. We provide results from data collected in a field.
