Underwater source localization using time difference of arrival and frequency difference of arrival measurements based on an improved invasive weed optimization algorithm by Yunhang Lin, Zhenkai Zhang, Hamid Esmaeili Najafabadi

“…At the same time, under the condition that the observed noise of each observation is Gaussian noise and does not consider the influence of other error factors, the localization error is adopted as the objective function to obtain an initial estimate for the unknown source parameter. Then, the obtained initial estimates of the target position and velocity as well as the target parameter error are utilized to construct a new localization model. …”

A comprehensive analysis of time investment in skid trail planning for forest access. by Marc Werder, Leo Gallus Bont, Janine Schweier, Oliver Thees

“…Here, we conducted an economic analysis to understand the skid trail planning process and to generate an initial model to estimate the time and costs involved. We investigated in detail how the planning process of skid trails is carried out in practice, what time is required for the planning work, and what factors influence its performance. …”
