Localisation of a source of biochemical agent dispersion using binary measurements

Abstract
Using the measurements collected at a number of known locations by a moving binary sensor, characterised by an unknown threshold, the problem is to estimate the parameters of a biochemical source, continuously releasing material into the atmosphere. The solution is formulated in the Bayesian framework using a dispersion model of Poisson distributed particle encounters in a turbulent flow. The method is implemented using the importance sampling technique and successfully validated with three experimental datasets under different wind conditions.
