Likelihood Map System for Localizing an Emitter

A method for displaying a location of an emitter, said method comprising:

• providing a plurality of receivers at different locations in a field in which said emitter is located, each receiver generating a receiver signal characterized by a signal magnitude in response to a signal from said emitter;
• generating a likelihood map indicative of an approximation of a probability as a function of position in said field of said location, wherein said map comprises a plurality of receiver maps, each receiver map comprising a probability as a function of position in said field of said emitter location based on said signal magnitude for at least one of said receiver signals;
• and
• displaying said likelihood map.

A computer readable medium that stores a program that, when executed by a computer, causes said computer to display a location of an emitter, said program causing said computer to;

• process a plurality of receiver signals, each receiver signal characterized by a signal magnitude in response to a signal from said emitter;
• generate a likelihood map indicative of an approximation of a probability as a function of position in said field of said location, wherein said map comprises a plurality of receiver maps, each receiver map comprising a probability as a function of position in said field of said emitter location based on said signal magnitude for at least one of said receiver signals;
• and
• display said likelihood map.
