Study on RSS/AOA hybrid localization in life detection in huge disaster situation

Rescue is a tough and time-consuming task in huge disaster. After stricken by a catastrophic natural disaster, the rescue force is typically deployed under the circumstance of traffic paralysis and lack of supplies. To cope with this situation, plenty of human resource and professional equipment are required. However, both the human resource and equipment are insufficient in most situations. The rescue force needs an efficient technology for searching the survivals, such as the life detection, which can be a key factor in disaster relief. Fast and accurate locating of the survivals will guide the limited rescue resource to save more survivors. However, current life detection technology cannot meet the demand of rescue in huge disaster. A novel life detection system based on fake base station is proposed. The detection system can scan the whole disaster area and find the cell phones, which leads to the surviving owners. As the system works in different way with other traditional human localization technology, a novel RSS/AOA hybrid positioning algorithm was proposed in this paper to increase the accuracy of localization. To verify the accuracy, two simulation tests were designed. The result of the two tests illustrates that the novel algorithm is more suitable to work with the novel life detection system.

     

兴蒙造山带中段南缘晚古生代演化过程:来自苏尼特右旗地区沉积地层及火山岩的证据

本文选取内蒙古苏尼特右旗地区石炭-二叠纪地层及火山岩为研究对象,通过典型地层剖面测制、锆石U-Pb年代学、古生物和地球化学等方法,查明其形成时代、物质来源及沉积环境,并进一步探讨兴蒙造山带中段南缘晚古生代的演化过程。本巴图组2个碎屑岩样品最小年龄为299Ma和296Ma,结合古生物化石研究,其形成时代应为晚石炭-早二叠世;三面井组2个碎屑岩样品的最小年龄为271Ma和272Ma,同样结合其古生物化石资料,判断其形成时代为早-中二叠世。锆石组成和岩相特征显示本巴图组和三面井组形成于不同的沉积背景之下。本巴图组的沉积相变化显示为一个海进序列,形成于弧后伸展背景之下;三面井组则与之相反,显示沉积环境由稳定变为活动,形成于汇聚背景之下。安山岩的喷出年龄为277±1.4Ma,有着高镁安山岩的属性,显示出俯冲背景下陆缘弧火山岩的特征。结合以往区域地质资料,我们认为晚古生代兴蒙造山带南缘的构造演化过程可分为五个阶段:(1)泥盆纪,碰撞后伸展阶段;(2)早石炭世,俯冲开始阶段;(3)晚石炭,俯冲不强烈、局部发生伸展作用阶段,以本巴图组和阿木山组的碎屑岩-碳酸盐组合为代表;(4)早中二叠世,俯冲加强阶段,发育三面井组和大量的陆缘弧火山岩,此时古亚洲洋仍然存在;(5)晚二叠世之后,碰撞结束、古亚洲洋消失阶段,区域开始出现大量A型花岗岩,整体进入造山后环境。
