Multiple underwater target positioning with optimally placed acoustic surface sensor networks by David Moreno-Salinas, Antonio Manuel Pascoal, Joaquín Aranda

“…To this end, we resort to tools from estimation theory and multi-objective optimization. For each target, the function to be minimized (by proper choice of the sensor configuration) is related to the determinant of the corresponding Fisher information matrix, which yields information on the minimum possible covariance of the error with which the position of the target can be estimated using any non-biased estimator. …”
