Outline of Research at the Start

本研究は,低SN環境で大きな残響・ドップラーの同時計測・排除が可能なディジタル通信方式を設計し,音響GPSに導入する.さらに,受信機が残響・ドップラー情報を計測し,不要信号を排除する仕組みを構築することで,音響GPSの諸課題を同時に解決する.

Outline of Final Research Achievements

We propose a novel acoustic positioning system that utilizes digital communication technology to address multipath and Doppler effects. The positioning system was designed to achieve stable data transmission and ranging by precisely measuring multipath and Doppler effects at the receiver side. A low-cost mechanism to accurately filter only the direct waves necessary for positioning utilizing a database search was also proposed. The performance of the positioning system was evaluated through experiments. The results suggest that the distance between the transmitter and receiver can be estimated with centimeter-level accuracy.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements
