Keywords: opportunistic localization / probabilistic localization

Comments

  • The phrase “Probabilistic localization” seems to be more likely used in robotics using some probablity methods, while “Opportunistic localization” is more like a scenario where anchor information is not always available.

Taxonomy

  • Where “opportunistic” comes: opportunistic available data, opportunistic communication between nodes
  • Solution:
  • Scenarios: Mobile device localization, Underwater Sensor Networks (UWSN), Floorplan construction.
