Improved K-Means Algorithm for Nearby Target Localization by Zongwen Yuan, Xingdi Wang, Fuyang Chen, Xicheng Ma

“…In a multi-source localization system, direction of arrival (DOA) estimation of angles always suffers from errors due to noise interference, sensor position inaccuracies, and other factors. When the distance between target sources is much smaller than the distance between sensors and target sources, the accuracy of traditional localization algorithms based on direction finding and cross-fixing deteriorates. …”
