  • System and method for determining geolocation determination fidelity
    Patent number: 11181607
    Abstract: In a geolocation system, ancillary parameter values, i.e., those produced during the geolocation process but not directly related to the calculation of the geolocation, are recorded and stored. These “ancillary” parameter values include signal characterization data and secondary measurements produced in the calculation of the geolocation. These parameter values are processed, in one approach, with respect to a weighted matrix in order to determine a confidence or fidelity value of the determined geolocation. Confidence is an indication of the likelihood that the geolocation result produced is in fact the desired target and that the identified location has a reasonable degree of quality so as to be practical or accurate.
