Autonomous Localization of 1/R^2 Sources Using an Aerial Platform

Unmanned vehicles are often used in time-critical missions such as reconnaissance or search and rescue. To this end, this thesis provides autonomous localization and mapping tools for 1=R2 sources. A \1=R2" source is one in which the received intensity of the source is inversely proportional to...
