Forecasting the direction of incoming radiation based on fusion of gyroscopic and spectroscopic data
A method is shown to estimate the position of a radioactive source by fusing
the data from a sodium iodide detector and a gyroscope while panning the
detector. Based on simple geometry considerations, the search motion of a
detector is modelled as angular panning. Correlation of both sensor streams is
shown as a predictor for the direction of the incoming radiation. The method
also allows for a rough distance classification, where a distant source or a
homogenous radiation field can be distinguished from a single source near to
the detector.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure
