Two Dimensional Local Positioning for Monitoring Position and Movement using UWB

In times, there has been an increase in the demand for accurate object localization in agricultural environments. This research paper presents an approach to address this need using the DWM1000 sensor. The main goal of this study was to assess the sensor's ability to determine an object's location and track its movement precisely. To accomplish this, we equipped an object with the sensor, which collected range data from each reference sensor. Using the triangulation method, we processed this data to establish a localization system. This system offers an alternative to GPS-based positioning methods, eliminating the reliance on GPS for determining the position of a vehicle. It is worth noting that our experiments were conducted outdoors, marking a departure from the indoor applications of this sensor. Outdoor testing involved measuring distances at intervals and evaluating their performance in open environments. The results were visualized through a Graphic User Interface emphasizing the suitability of this method for agricultural purposes. This study's findings demonstrate the sensor's versatility and pave the way for its broader use in outdoor settings.
