2 Contents 1) Motivation 2) Mobile Nose: Main Problems 3) Creating Concentration Gridmaps 4) Experimental Setup 5) Gas Source Localisation 6) Conclusions

3 1 Motivation Mobile Nose Research Mobile Nose - Research physical properties of gas transport understand how animals use odours to navigate Mobile Nose - Interests gas distribution mapping gas source localisation

4 2 Gas Source Localisation Main Problems Delayed Response τ r 1.8 s Delayed Recovery τ d (fans) 11.1 s memory effect

5 2 Gas Source Localisation Main Problems Instantaneous Distribution Average Distribution Smyth & Moum 2001

6 3 Gridmaps vs. Concentration Gridmaps Occupancy Gridmap cells represent the belief that an area is occupied considerable overlap between single measurements Concentration Gridmap cells represent the relative concentration on average measurements cover a very small area measurements depend on the past

7 3 Creating Concentration Gridmaps Extrapolate on the Measurements Gaussian density function f Ix M = 1 2 π σ 2 e x 2 2 σ 2 Justification smooth time-constant structures of the gas distribution implicit integration due to the sensor characteristics

8 3 Creating Concentration Gridmaps Displacement of Cells δ t Hi,jL = x Hi,jL x t Determine Weightings

9 3 Creating Concentration Gridmaps Update Weighting Table W t Hi,jL = W t 1 Hi,jL +ω t Hi,jL Update Weighted Readings WR t Hi,jL = WR t 1 Hi,jL + r t ω t Hi,jL r t = R t R min R max R min

10 3 Creating Concentration Gridmaps Update Cells c t Hi,jL = WR t Hi,jL W t Hi,jL : W t Hi,jL W min Next Timestep

11 3 Creating Concentration Gridmaps Extrapolation on Sequential Readings
