Position detection system

A position detection system comprising:

• a plurality of transmitters/receivers placed at at least three positions, wherein:
• one or more of the plurality of transmitters/receivers executes a process to measure distances among the plurality of transmitters/receivers, each distance being measured a plurality of times, and obtain a minimum value for each distance;
• one or more of the plurality of transmitters/receivers executes a process to obtain an angle between each two adjacent straight lines, each of which is one of straight lines that mutually connect the plurality of transmitters/receivers, by using minimum values each of which is the minimum value for each distance;
• if an absolute value of a difference between 180 degrees and a sum of angles, each of which is the angle between each two adjacent straight lines, inside a triangle formed by straight lines that interconnect three of the plurality of transmitters/receivers is smaller than a predetermined value, one or more of the plurality of transmitters/receivers executes a process to obtain an average value and a variance for each minimum value and for each angle;
• and
• if the variance of the each minimum value is smaller than a first threshold and the variance of the each angle is smaller than a second variance, one or more of the plurality of transmitters/receivers executes a process to take the average value of the each minimum value as a true value of the distance.
