METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SMART ANCHOR-BASED POSITION ESTIMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240094328 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SMART ANCHOR-BASED POSITION ESTIMATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a smart anchor-based position estimation method and apparatus. The method involves identifying line-of-sight (LOS) anchors in a vehicle, selecting reference anchors from the LOS anchors, and estimating the position of a tag based on the reference anchors.
- LOS anchors are identified among the anchors mounted in a vehicle.
- Reference anchors are selected based on the rate of formation of an ultra-wideband (UWB) link to the tag and the accuracy of the estimated position of the tag.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Autonomous vehicles for precise positioning.
- Indoor navigation systems for accurate location tracking.
Problems Solved
- Improved accuracy in position estimation.
- Efficient selection of reference anchors for better positioning.
Benefits
- Enhanced location accuracy.
- Increased efficiency in positioning systems.
Potential Commercial Applications
- Automotive industry for autonomous driving systems.
- Logistics and supply chain management for tracking assets.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of GPS technology for position estimation in vehicles. However, GPS may not provide the required level of accuracy for certain applications compared to the smart anchor-based method described in the patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does the method handle dynamic environments where the position of anchors may change?
The patent application does not specifically address how the method adapts to changes in anchor positions in real-time.
What is the cost implication of implementing this technology in different industries?
The patent application does not provide information on the cost of implementing the smart anchor-based position estimation method in various commercial applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
a smart anchor-based position estimation method and apparatus are disclosed. the position estimation method, performed by a position estimation apparatus, includes: identifying one or more line-of-sight (los) anchors from among one or more anchors mounted in a vehicle; selecting reference anchors from among the one or more los anchors; and estimating a position of a tag based on a number of the reference anchors. the reference anchors are selected based on a rate of formation of an ultra-wideband (uwb) link to the tag and accuracy of the estimated position of the tag.
