In this paper, we use the image theory in order to formulate an analytical channel model for the magnetic field of a quasi-static magnetic dipole positioned above a perfectly conducting half-space. The proposed model can be used to compensate for the distorting effects that metallic reinforcement bars (rebars) within the floor impose on the magnetic field of a magnetoinductive transmitter node in an indoor single-story environment. Good agreement is observed between the analytical solution and numerical solutions obtained from 3-D finite-element simulations. Experimental results indicate that the image theory model shows improvement over the free-space dipole model in estimating positions in the distorted environment, typically reducing positioning errors by 22% in 90% of the cases and 26% in 40% of the cases. No prior information on the geometry of the metallic distorters was available, making this essentially a “blind” technique.

Underground incrementally deployed magneto-inductive 3-D positioning network / Traian E. Abrudan in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 54 n° 8 (August 2016)

Such systems typically require a dense grid of devices to enable 3-D positioning. Moreover, the precise position of each anchor node needs to be precisely surveyed, a particularly challenging task in underground environments. Magneto-inductive (MI) positioning, which provides 3-D position and orientation from a single transmitter and penetrates thick layers of soil and rock without loss, is a more promising approach, but so far has only been investigated in simple point-to-point contexts. In this paper, we develop a novel MI positioning approach to cover an extended underground 3-D space with unknown geometry using a rapidly deployable anchor network. The key to our approach is that the position of only a single anchor needs to be accurately surveyed-the positions of all secondary anchors are determined using an iterative refinement process using measurements obtained from receivers within the network. This avoids the particularly challenging and time-intensive task in an underground environment of accurately surveying the positions of all of the transmitters. We also demonstrate how measurements obtained from multiple transmitters can be fused to improve localization accuracy. We validate the proposed approach in a man-made cave and show that, with a portable system that took 5 min to deploy, we were able to provide accurate through-the-earth location capability to nodes placed along a suite of tunnels.
