“…Furthermore, several studies have been done exploring the use of underwater magnetometers for tracking of vessels [19]- [21], where [21] has used the dipole model not only for localizing the vessel, but also for estimating the positions of the sensors. In [20] a Bayesian match-field approach has been used, which takes the attenuation of the seawater into consideration.…”

Abstract-With the electromagnetic theory as basis, we present a sensor model for three-axis magnetometers suitable for localization and tracking as required in intelligent transportation systems and security applications. The model depends on a physical magnetic dipole model of the target and its relative position to the sensor. Both point target and extended target models are provided as well as a heading angle dependent model. The suitability of magnetometers for tracking is analyzed in terms of local observability and the Cramér Rao lower bound as a function of the sensor positions in a two sensor scenario. The models are validated with real field test data taken from various road vehicles which indicate excellent localization as well as identification of the magnetic target model suitable for target classification. These sensor models can be combined with a standard motion model and a standard nonlinear filter to track metallic objects in a magnetometer network.

“…The sensor nodes are those nodes that cannot communicate directly with the surface buoys because of distance or other constraints but can communicate with the anchor nodes to estimate their own locations. Through message passing, localized sensor nodes can assist other nonlocalized sensor nodes to estimate their locations [8,36]. The base station is the node to centralize and to integrate all the data transferred by surface buoys.…”

Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) are widely used to collect data in the marine environment. Location and time are essential aspects when sensors collect data, particularly in the case of location-aware data. Many studies on terrestrial sensor networks consider sensor locations as the locations where data is collected and focus on sensor positioning when sensors are fixed. However, underwater sensors are mobile networks and the sensor locations change continuously. Localization schemes designed for static sensor networks need to run periodically to update locations and consume considerable sensor power and increase the communication overhead; hence, they cannot be applied to UWSNs. This paper presents a hybrid localization approach with data-location correction, called Data Localization Correction Approach (DLCA), which positions data without additional communication overhead and power consumption on sensors. Without loss of generality, we simulate the ocean environment based on a kinematic model and meandering current mobility model and conduct extensive simulations. Our results show that DLCA can significantly reduce communication costs, while maintaining relatively high localization accuracy.

“…3D-MALS may introduce additional overhead by sending anchor locations and power levels to the sink node where sensor nodes can already estimate self location using the anchor messages. e) Silent Localization using Magnetometers (SLM): SLM is proposed in [55] where the authors target surveillance applications. In SLM, the sensor nodes are not allowed to use acoustic communications to be completely hidden.…”

The widespread adoption of the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in various applications in the terrestrial environment and the rapid advancement of the WSN technology have motivated the development of Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (UASNs). UASNs and terrestrial WSNs have several common properties while there are several challenges particular to UASNs that are mostly due to acoustic communications, and inherent mobility. These challenges call for novel architectures and protocols to ensure successful operation of the UASN. Localization is one of the fundamental tasks for UASNs which is required for data tagging, node tracking, target detection, and it can be used for improving the performance of medium access and network protocols. Recently, various UASN architectures and a large number of localization techniques have been proposed. In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey of these architectures and localization methods. To familiarize the reader with the UASNs and localization concepts, we start our paper by providing background information on localization, state-of-theart oceanographic systems, and the challenges of underwater communications. We then present our detailed survey, followed by a discussion on the performance of the localization techniques and open research issues.
