Abstract:An important step in a multi-sensor surveillance system is to estimate sensor biases from their noisy asynchronous measurements.

This estimation problem is computationally challenging due to the highly nonlinear transformation between the global and local coordinate 

systems as well as the measurement asynchrony from different sensors. In this talk, we propose a novel nonlinear least squares (LS) 

formulation for the problem by assuming the existence of a reference target moving with an (unknown) constant velocity. We also propose an

efficient block coordinate decent (BCD) optimization algorithm, with a judicious initialization, to solve the problem. The proposed BCD 

algorithm alternately updates the range and azimuth bias estimates by solving linear LS problems and semidefinite programs (SDPs). In the 

absence of measurement noise, the proposed algorithm is guaranteed to find the global solution of the problem and the true biases. 

Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms the existing approaches in terms of the root mean square 

error (RMSE).
