Localization Challenge Results Presentations

Final event of the Acoustic Localization Challenge – after having a brief introduction to the challenge and learning the background theory on acoustic positioning on Monday, attending a tutorial and hands on session to familiarise themselves with the hardware on Tuesday, the competing teams had each a dedicated timeslot in a data gathering sessions out on the boat on Wednesday. After gathering precious data it’s a race against the clock to come up with creative algorithms to determine the most precise location of a submerged pinger.

Finally on Friday, each team gets a 5 minute slot to present their methodologies, approach and results in front the audience and a panel of expert judges that coached them throughout the week.
