Some Developments and New Insights for Microseismic/Acoustic Emission Source Localization

Localization process and advantages of the proposed 3D analytical localization method. To eliminate the effects of the iterative algorithm, initial value, premeasured velocity, and nonunique solutions, a 3D comprehensive analytical localization method was proposed for random sensor networks. The localization processes for 6 sensors networks and random sensor networks are shown above. This method highlights four advantages: without iterative algorithm, without premeasured velocity, without initial value, and without square root operations.
