Sensor Signal and Information Processing II
In the current age of information explosion, newly invented technological sensors and software are now tightly integrated with our everyday lives. Many sensor processing algorithms have incorporated some forms of computational intelligence as part of their core framework in problem solving. These algorithms have the capacity to generalize and discover knowledge for themselves and learn new information whenever unseen data are captured. The primary aim of sensor processing is to develop techniques to interpret, understand, and act on information contained in the data. The interest of this book is in developing intelligent signal processing in order to pave the way for smart sensors. This involves mathematical advancement of nonlinear signal processing theory and its applications that extend far beyond traditional techniques. It bridges the boundary between theory and application, developing novel theoretically inspired methodologies targeting both longstanding and emergent signal processing applications. The topic ranges from phishing detection to integration of terrestrial laser scanning, and from fault diagnosis to bio-inspiring filtering. The book will appeal to established practitioners, along with researchers and students in the emerging field of smart sensors processing

Wireless indoor localisation within the 5G internet of radio light
This thesis was submitted for the award of Doctor of Philosophy and was awarded by Brunel University LondonNumerous applications can be enhanced by accurate and efficient indoor localisation using wireless
sensor networks, however trade-offs often exist between these two parameters. In this thesis, realworld
and simulation data is used to examine the hybrid millimeter wave and Visible Light
Communications (VLC) architecture of the 5G Internet of Radio Light (IoRL) Horizon 2020 project.
Consequently, relevant localisation challenges within Visible Light Positioning (VLP) and asynchronous
sampling networks are identified, and more accurate and efficient solutions are developed.
Currently, VLP relies strongly on the assumed Lambertian properties of light sources.
However, in practice, not all lights are Lambertian. To support the widespread deployment of VLC
technology in numerous environments, measurements from non-Lambertian sources are analysed to
provide new insights into the limitations of existing VLP techniques. Subsequently, a novel VLP
calibration technique is proposed, and results indicate a 59% accuracy improvement against existing
methods. This solution enables high accuracy centimetre level VLP to be achieved with non-
Lambertian sources.
Asynchronous sampling of range-based measurements is known to impact localisation
performance negatively. Various Asynchronous Sampling Localisation Techniques (ASLT) exist to
mitigate these effects. While effective at improving positioning performance, the exact suitability of
such solutions is not evident due to their additional processes, subsequent complexity, and increased
costs. As such, extensive simulations are conducted to study the effectiveness of ASLT under variable
sampling latencies, sensor measurement noise, and target trajectories. Findings highlight the
computational demand of existing ASLT and motivate the development of a novel solution. The
proposed Kalman Extrapolated Least Squares (KELS) method achieves optimal localisation
performance with a significant energy reduction of over 50% when compared to current leading ASLT.
The work in this thesis demonstrates both the capability for high performance VLP from non-
Lambertian sources as well as the potential for energy efficient localisation for sequentially sampled
range measurements.Horizon 202
