Abstract:
1. A method for localizing one or more sources, the sources being in motion relative to a network of sensors, the method comprising the following steps: separating the sources in order to identify the direction vectors associated with the response of the sensors to a source at a given incidence; associating the direction vectors a localizing the m wherein, in considering that, for each pair, (t 1) resetting of the process at k=0, m=1 and number of sources M=1 and, for all triplets (t 2) searching for an index j and a pair (t 3) for first triplet (t 4) determining the pair (t 5) in using the relationship (4) defined here above, determining the index i(m) that minimizes the difference between the vectors a 6) setting link 7) if d(a 8) if there is at least one doublet (t 9) defining the family of vectors Φ 10) from the family of vectors Φ 11) returning to the step 3) if there is at least one triplet (t
