Detecting and Tracking Level Sets of Scalar Fields using a Robotic Sensor Network
— We introduce an algorithm which detects and traces a specified level set of a scalar field (a contour) on a plane. A network of static sensor nodes with limited communication...

Nonparametric belief propagation for distributed tracking of robot networks with noisy inter-distance measurements
— We consider the problem of tracking multiple moving robots using noisy sensing of inter-robot and interbeacon distances. Sensing is local: there are three fixed beacons at kno...
