Comparative Analysis Multistage Algorithms for the Localization of Random Pulsed-Point Sources by Efficiency

Different multistage procedures for the localization of pulsed-point sources manifested by generating instantaneous pulses at random time moments are compared by speed. The results of study confirm that the universal procedure for the multistage localization of a uniformly distributed pulsed-point source is highly efficient in the cases when there are no a priori data on the power and possible location of an object to be sought within a search interval. A new quasi-optical localization method is proposed to enhance the efficiency of search when a priori information about the distribution function and power of a source to be sought is available.
