METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRACKING SIGNAL SOURCES WITH WRAPPED-PHASE HIDDEN MARKOV MODELS

A method models trajectories of a signal source. Training signals generated by a signal source moving along known trajectories are acquired by each sensor in an array of sensors. Phase differences between all unique pairs of the training signals are determined. A wrapped-phase hidden Markov model is constructed from the phase differences. The wrapped-phase hidden Markov model includes multiple Gaussian distributions to model the known trajectories of the signal source.
