Bayesian filter location sensing system, a perceptual model, p(z|x), is
needed prior to location estimation. This model can be considered a
scene of feature maps used in the scene analysis scheme. The feature
in the map of the perceptual model is the likelihood of observing
a sensor measurement z (e.g., 2-m ultrasound measurement) given
an object’s state (position) x in a room. Construction of the map
can be performed by autonomous robots. As mentioned earlier, the
principle of sensor fusion is to combine multiple location sensing
technologies of different error distributions deployed in the same
geographic space; therefore, to apply Bayesian filtering to a sensor
fusion system, a perceptual model
