Device-Free Person Detection and Ranging in UWB Networks

Device-free Detection and Localization of People Using Uwb Networks

Wireless localization and tracking have attracted a great deal of research interest from the research community, as location-awareness is fast becoming an essential feature in many application areas. For indoor scenarios, ultra-wideband (UWB) transmission is a promising technology, due to its high-resolution ranging and obstacle penetration capabilities. Most practical UWB localization systems ...

Detection of UWB ranging measurement quality for collaborative indoor positioning

UWB-based Secure Ranging and Localization

In this paper, we propose and implement a novel IDbased secure ranging protocol. Our protocol is inspired by existing authenticated ranging and distance–bounding protocols, and is tailored to work on existing Ultra Wide Band (UWB) ranging platforms. Building on the implementation of secure ranging, we further implement a secure localization protocol that enables the computation of a correct dev...

Tuberculosis in free-ranging wildlife: detection, diagnosis and management.

Mycobacterium bovis is emerging as an important pathogen of free-ranging wildlife in which it is a potential source of infection for domestic animals and a threat to valuable wildlife species. This review examines the procedures for the detection, diagnosis and management of M. bovis in wildlife populations. The ante-mortem detection of M. bovis infection in wildlife is difficult, due to the co...

Bartonella species detection in captive, stranded and free-ranging cetaceans.

We present prevalence of Bartonella spp. for multiple cohorts of wild and captive cetaceans. One hundred and six cetaceans including 86 bottlenose dolphins (71 free-ranging, 14 captive in a facility with a dolphin experiencing debility of unknown origin, 1 stranded), 11 striped dolphins, 4 harbor porpoises, 3 Risso's dolphins, 1 dwarf sperm whale and 1 pygmy sperm whale (all stranded) were samp...
